HC Deb 25 October 1983 vol 47 cc63-4W
22. Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many specialist careers teachers are employed in England and Wales in 1983–84; and what were the comparable figures for 1979–80.

Mr. Dunn

The latest information is from a survey of secondary school staffing in 1977 when it is estimated that some 7,700 teachers were taking careers lessons in maintained secondary schools. Another survey is planned for early next year.
