HC Deb 26 July 1956 vol 557 c62W
67. Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education to what extent the increase in the number of teachers at the latest convenient date was attributable to buoyant recruitment, later retirement, or the continued willingness of married women to remain in or return to teaching, respectively, referred to in paragraph 24 of Education in 1955.

Sir D. Eccles

It is not possible, without very detailed research, to attribute exact figures to the contribution made by the different factors to the net increase in the teacher force.

Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education how the number of teachers referred to in the table in paragraph 18 of Education in 1955 are distributed between primary and secondary schools.

Sir D. Eccles

I am sending the figures to the hon. Member.
