HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 c159W
117. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the intended dismissal of 1,500 qualified teachers by local authorities in Scotland.

Mr. Ross

The authorities must comply with the statutory requirements of the Schools (Scotland) Code. Certificated teachers who have not yet registered with the General Teaching Council can avoid dismissal by registering with the General Teaching Council.
