HC Deb 22 May 1952 vol 501 c72W
68 Sir L. Ropner

asked the Minister of Education the number of vacancies for teachers in schools in the West Riding of Yorkshire at the latest convenient date.

Miss Horsbrugh

My Department keeps no record of vacant teaching posts which are, of course, constantly changing. I am aware of no special staffing difficulties in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

70. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Minister of Education the percentage of girls leaving school at 18 years of age who go to teacher-training colleges.

Miss Horsbrugh

Nearly 50 per cent. of the girls who left school at 18 years or over in 1951 went direct to teacher-training colleges.
