§ Mr. James Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many schools in Lanarkshire are on part-time education; when he expects them to go full-time; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThere is part-time education in six secondary schools, largely because of staffing shortages, and in four primary schools, mainly because of staff illness. The schools are unlikely to resume full-time education until the education authority secures additional teachers or teachers return from sick leave.
