HC Deb 18 November 1957 vol 578 c12W
Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Minister of Education what advice or guidance he has given to the appropriate authorities as to the number of hours of teaching per week they should require of technical college staffs, and as to what reduction they should allow for members of the staffs engaged in approved research.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

No general guidance has been given, since the number of teaching hours per week for teachers in technical colleges is a matter for the employing authority to determine.

Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Minister of Education what decisions he has reached about the recommendations of the Willis Jackson Report on the recruitment and training of teachers for technical colleges.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I will announce my decisions on those recommendations in the Report which require action by my Department as soon as the necessary consultations are complete.
