HC Deb 05 December 1944 vol 406 cc324-5
2. Mr. Kenneth Lindsay

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has taken any steps to set up emergency training centres for the training of teachers, or whether he proposes to utilise existing facilities for this purpose.

Mr. T. Johnston

The National Committee for the Training of Teachers are satisfied, after full inquiry that the existing training centres are sufficient to provide for the training of the teachers required for prospective developments in Scottish Education, except as regards teachers of physical education. The Committee are at present endeavouring to obtain premises for the establishment of additional courses of physical education.

Mr. Lindsay

Mr. Johnston
