HC Deb 26 November 1952 vol 508 c450
44. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of educational vacancies in the colonial territories still unfilled by the Colonial Office.

Mr. Lyttelton

Two hundred and sixty-four, of which 94 have been notified during the last three months.

Mr. Johnson

Is the Minister aware that there has been undue delay between the holding of the interview and the notification of the final results to applicants, and that this is discouraging to the teachers who apply? Will the right hon. Gentleman please do something about it?

Mr. Lyttelton

If the hon. Member will give me any specific instance, I shall be glad to look into it.
