§ 29. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Education to what extent his programme of staff allocations to secondary schools for 1962–63 will compel certain schools to reduce their teaching staffs in circumstances where their classes are 83W already oversized; and if he will issue amending instructions to substitute limitation on increases for reduction of staffs in such circumstances.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonMy right hon. Friend does not allocate staff to particular types of schools. Each local education authority is responsible for deciding how best, within its quota, to use the teachers at its disposal.
