Estimates of the future requirements and supply of teachers are now being reviewed by the Teachers Interim Committee, which was set up by my predecessor, under the Chairmanship of my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary. As soon as I am in a position to do so I propose to issue a circular giving as accurate a picture as possible of the position over the next five years.
