HC Deb 13 May 2002 vol 385 c491W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many teachers were in service in Worcestershire in(a) January 2001 and (b) January 2002. [54979]

Mr. Timms

There were 4,430 full-time equivalent teachers in service in the maintained schools sector in Worcestershire in January 2001.

Data for January 2002 are not yet available at local education authority level.

Information on teachers in service in January 2002 by local education authority will be published in the Teachers in England statistical volume in December 2002.

Part-time teachers have been converted to an estimate of their full-time equivalence and added to full-time numbers.
