§ 100. Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Minister of Education which local education authorities in Wales have made reductions in their services for the next financial year; and what steps he is taking to enable them to maintain their existing provisions without placing an undue burden on the local rates.
§ Sir D. EcclesNo authority in Wales has notified me of any reductions, but I understand that the Carmarthenshire Local Education Authority propose to dismiss 65 temporary teachers in their primary and secondary schools from the end of this month.
The total would then be three above the authority's quota for January, 1963, which is the main factor determining the number of teachers to be employed.
