HC Deb 05 December 1960 vol 631 c121W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Education what progress has been made in lightening the burden falling on teachers in respect of clerical work and supervision since he initiated his inquiry into the measures taken by local education authorities on these matters.

Sir D. Eccles

In the period since the inquiry was instituted, more than half the local education authorities have given additional clerical assistance and a slightly smaller number have increased their supervisory help. I am keeping the progress made under review.
