66. Mr. Arnold Shaw

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to ensure adequate fully qualified staffing when his Department assumes responsibility for the education of mentally handicapped children, at present a charge on the Health Service.

Mr. Edward Short

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said on 26th November, matters affecting the future pattern of staffing and the training and status of staff will have to be worked out in consultation with the appropriate bodies.—[Vol. 774, c. 302–8.]
