HC Deb 15 November 1945 vol 415 cc2497-8W
Mr. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Education whether she is a party to the calling-up of teachers under the age of 30 years during the present emergency; and what is the policy of her Ministry on this question.

Miss Wilkinson

So far as I am aware there are no medically fit men teachers under 30 now serving in the schools. A few such men have taken up other forms of war service. As and when they can be released from such service, it is the Government's policy that they should be allowed, if they wish, to return to teaching work in recognised schools.
