HC Deb 10 February 1913 vol 48 cc510-1W
Mr. NEWTON

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has received from the Essex education committee representations that, in view of the existing shortage of uncertificated teachers and the possible shortage of certificated teachers, it is desirable to postpone the operation of the proposed regulation to disqualify supplementary teachers in 1914; and what steps has the Board in contemplation to meet the existing and possible shortage of teachers?

Mr. PEASE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The matter referred to in the second part is now receiving my attention.
