§ Mr. Carlisleasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why information 126W about the number and qualifications of teachers of mathematics and science subjects in schools will not be available until April.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI refer the hon. and learned Member to the reply my hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Bedfordshire, South (Mr. Madel) on 6 February.
