HC Deb 28 November 1946 vol 430 c339W
92. Mr. Touche

asked the Minister of Education what progress has been made in obtaining sufficient teachers to give adequate teaching when the school leaving age is raised.

Mr. Hardman

As my right hon. Friend stated a week ago, it is expected that the number of teachers available for employment in primary and secondary schools as a whole will increase from 176,000 in January, 1946, to 190,000 in January, 1948, and 200,000 in January, 1949.
