§ 64 Mr. Wilson Harrisasked the Minister of Labour how many secondary and elementary teachers, respectively, had been released from the Forces under Class B at the latest date for which figures are available.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe total number of school teachers released in Class B by the end of September was 1,046. I regret that separate figures for secondary and elementary teachers are not readily available.
§ Mr. HarrisIs not that total deplorably small, in view of the number of teachers in other classes of schools; and will the right hon. Gentleman do everything he can to accelerate the matter?
§ Mr. IsaacsWe are doing what we can within the scheme to expedite the release of all, but not to give special preferences to one against the other.
