HC Deb 26 February 1968 vol 759 cc269-70W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his estimate of the cost to Welsh local education authorities of educating and training those persons who had to take teaching posts in 1967 outside Wales.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Expenditure on the training of teachers is chargeable to the teacher training pool, the total cost being apportioned among all local education authorities, both in England and Wales, on the basis of their school population. The fact that some teachers, who were trained in Wales have to take teaching posts elsewhere does not affect the cost borne by Welsh authorities.
