§ Mr. Beaumont-Darkasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what measures he is taking to increase the supply of mathematics and science teachers to fill the need existing in most State schools in the United Kingdom.
§ Dr. BoysonTraining institutions are giving priority to these and other subjects for which there is a shortage of teachers; but recruitment is falling short of its targets.
