HC Deb 14 March 1946 vol 420 cc255-6W
Flight-Lieutenant Haire

asked the Minister of Education how many teachers now employed in the services as meteorological officers have been applied for in the Army, R.N. and R.A.F. respectively; and how many have been released in each case.

Miss Wilkinson

Teachers are not released from the services as the result of application by my Department for specific individuals, but under a scheme for the block release under Class B of 13,200 teachers from all three services. Any questions on the actual number of meteorological officers who have been released under this scheme or otherwise should be addressed to the Minister responsible for the service concerned.
