HC Deb 09 June 1976 vol 912 c696W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the Scottish Education Department maintains a central bank of information concerning class sizes, teacher-pupil ratios, and teacher supply for individual subjects in each of the old county education authority areas.

Mr. McElhone

Information on class sizes and pupil-teacher ratios is available in "Scottish Educational Statistics" published annually. Information on numbers of teachers in 1970 by qualification subject and subject taught is available in the Report "Secondary Schools Staffing Survey 1970". The annual collection of the latter information was begun in September 1974.
