HC Deb 06 May 1965 vol 711 cc1552-3
29. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many local education authorities have requested additional teachers, over and above their quota, for remedial teaching with children coming from the Commonwealth.

Mr. Denis Howell

Fourteen local education authorities have requested increases in their teacher quotas for January, 1966, to help them in staffing schools with substantial numbers of immigrant children from the Commonwealth and elsewhere. Thirteen of these authorities have received increases for this purpose, and one application is still being considered.
