HC Deb 25 October 1967 vol 751 cc1715-6
20. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to implement the recommendations of the Roberts Report on teachers.

Mr. Millan

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 23rd October to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Cathcart (Mr. Edward M. Taylor). —[Vol. 751, c. 377–80.]

Mr. Brewis

Will the Minister see that any proposals that he makes to the management side on the Roberts Report take into account the teaching position in places outwith Glasgow and Lanarkshire and include such places as Dundee?

Mr. Millan

I think the hon. Member knows that the tentative proposals which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has put forward are designed to con- centrate help where it is most required. I have no doubt that as various discussions and negotiations proceed, the difficulties in the other areas which he mentioned will be taken into account.
