§ 68. Mr. Malcolm MacPhersonasked the Minister of Defence how many teachers of Russian are engaged in the National Service language courses; and what steps he is taking to offer their services as teachers of Russian in schools and universities after these courses come to an end.
§ Mr. WatkinsonFacilities for teaching National Service men Russian have already been curtailed, and there are now no courses exclusively for National Service men. As the forces continue to contract, a small number of civilian teachers will become redundant. They will be given all possible help, on the lines the hon. Member suggests, to obtain other employment.
