§ 64. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that forms FAM 296 and 298, Parts A and B, have thrown much extra non-educational clerical work upon headmasters; and if he will take steps to reduce the number of forms which teachers have to complete to the detriment of their proper work.
§ Mr. TomlinsonIt is my constant aim to reduce to a minimum the amount of clerical work falling on teachers, and the forms in question, which are essential for the efficient administration of the Family Allowances Act, were designed with that in mind. It was made clear in the explanatory memorandum sent to the schools that the work could be done by the school secretary.
