§ Squadron Leader Cooperasked the Minister of Education if she will give the number of school dental officers employed by local authorities per month from January 1951 to the most convenient date.
§ Mr. Pickthorn:The latest figures available are those showing the position at the beginning of last January, when the number of dentists in the school dental service was equivalent to 717 full-time officers.
