HC Deb 09 March 1950 vol 472 c12W
72. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Education whether it has been possible to increase the number of teachers sufficiently to cope with the estimated increase in the school population by the end of 1950 without having recourse to increasing the size of the classes.

Mr. Tomlinson

My plans for increasing the number of teachers, which naturally reflect the estimated increase in the school population, provide for a better staffing ratio for the schools.
