HC Deb 12 October 1939 vol 352 c549W
Mr. Hannah

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he will consider abolishing married disabilities for such teachers or ex-teachers as have husbands serving in His Majesty's forces?

Mr. Lindsay

There is no general bar against the employment of married women teachers. The question of continuing the employment of women teachers on marriage or of appointing married women as teachers is a matter within the discretion of the local education authorities and other bodies with whom the appointments rest.
