HC Deb 07 February 1957 vol 564 c84W
104. Mr. G. Longden

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education if he is satisfied that the necessary increases in the numbers of mathematics and science graduates on the teaching staff of secondary maintained schools between now and 1961 will be achieved; and if he will make a statement.

Sir E. Boyle

My noble Friend is by no means satisfied on this point. He will wish to consider how the rate of increase can be improved in consultation with the local education authorities, the universities and other employers of science graduates; but he is not yet in a position to make any further statement.
