HC Deb 01 August 1963 vol 682 cc134-7W
66. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Education of he will publish in HANSARD a table showing how many educational psychologists are employed by each local education authority; how many local education authorities have schemes for the training of educational psychologists; and which they are.

Mr. Chataway

I am circulating in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the number of educationalpsychologists, expressed as a full-time equivalent, who were employed in the school health services of local education authorities in January, 1963.

Training in educational psychology is given at approved centres in universities and hospitals to which local education authorities may second suitably qualified teachers. For most authorities regular schemes of secondment would be impracticable, but I understand that the Lancashire authority has such a scheme.

Following is the table:
