HC Deb 27 October 1949 vol 468 cc166-7W
11. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Education if he will arrange for an up-to-date list of vacancies at schools for the deaf and other special schools to be kept at his Department, so that it will no longer be necessary for a local authority to write to all the schools in the country when it requires a vacancy.

Mr. Tomlinson

If there were evidence of a general demand on the part of local education authorities for such a list, I would be prepared to consider whether the hon. Member's suggestion were practicable, but I am not sure that its possible advantages would justify the considerable correspondence involved and the extra staff required.
