Sir M. Galpern

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what has been the expenditure during the past year on the scheme to recruit married women teachers; and how many such teachers have started teaching during the same period.

Mr. Ross

Since 1st March, 1965, £3,750 has been spent on the campaign to encourage married women teachers to return to service. Of the totals of 820 and 211 who took respectively full-time and part-time appointments with education authorities during this period, 67 were recruited to full-time posts and 39 to part-time posts as a direct result of the campaign.
