HC Deb 23 October 1968 vol 770 c278W
19. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many teachers of Russian are presently in secondary schools; if he is satisfied that the teaching of Russian in their curriculum will not be impaired as a result of recent reforms; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Millan

In 1967, the latest year for which figures are available, there were in Scottish secondary schools 121 teachers qualified to teach Russian.

For the remainder of the Question I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) on 29th November last year.—[Vol. 755, c. 112.]
