HC Deb 18 June 1959 vol 607 c63W
44. Mr. Snow

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that vacancies for teachers at Tamworth, Staffordshire, have not been filled because of the lack of housing accommodation; and what steps he will take to see that accommodation is provided for them.

Sir E. Boyle

My right hon. Friend knows of no particular case. The Staffordshire local education authority are very conscious of the housing needs of teachers and have urged local housing authorities in areas short of teachers to do everything possible to find houses for them. I understand that a recent advertisement for posts at schools in Tamworth has included an offer of accommodation provided by the local education authority.
