HC Deb 22 March 1968 vol 761 cc166-7W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many representations he has received criticising the functioning and effectiveness of the general Teaching Council as a whole; how many representations he has received criticising the general Teaching Council's proposed disciplinary committee procedure; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Ross

I have received representations from the Scottish Schoolmasters Association and the Scottish Art Teachers Association and nine individuals on the functioning and effectiveness of the Council; and from the Scottish Schoolmasters Association and three individuals on the Council's disciplinary procedures. In reply I have said that the functions and composition of the Council are prescribed in the Teaching Council (Scotland) Act, 1965; and that its disciplinary procedures are not my responsibility.
