HC Deb 20 February 1964 vol 689 c1369
3. Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Education how many secondary schools have no careers teachers.

Sir E. Boyle

I regret that this information is not available.

Miss Quennell

Is my right hon. Friend aware that this very unfortunate lack of information is really critical in the context of our present educational studies, and will he take steps to acquire information as quickly as possible and let us have it?

Sir E. Boyle

I do not like putting too much of a burden on the authorities for the collection of information, but I agree that there is considerable room for improvement in spreading this practice to many types of school and training and for helping teachers who are given these responsibilities.
