§ Mr. WallaceTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list in respect of each local education authority area in Scotland in each year since 1986 the number of people who are(a) wholly engaged in administration, (b) engaged in administration and teaching and (c) wholly engaged in teaching.
§ Mr. Lang[holding answer 1 December 1993]The table details the full-time equivalent number of lecturers and teachers employed in Scottish local education authority areas as at March in the respective years. No information is held centrally on the number of lecturers, teachers and other staff who, either wholly or partly, carry out an administrative role. The information is taken from the joint staffing watch, a survey run jointly by the Scottish Office and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities. Specific information on the numbers of school teachers can be found in the statistical bulletin "Pupils and Teachers in Education Authority Primary and Secondary Schools".
§ Mr. LangI would be happy to meet the chairman of Greater Glasgow health board on a mutually convenient date to discuss health matters in Glasgow.
