§ Mr. Maginnisasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will ensure that necessary extra resources, including teachers, are made available in controlled primary and secondary schools serving communities close to the frontier with the Irish Republic which have been disadvantaged by the Irish Republican Army's murder campaign against Protestants.
§ Mr. Scott[pursuant to his reply, 28 January 1985, c. 70]: In the allocation of teaching posts my Department will continue to give sympathetic consideration to cases made on behalf of border schools. As I said in response to the report of the Northern Ireland Assembly on the rationalisation of schools, this will apply to both controlled and voluntary schools.
