HC Deb 17 April 1969 vol 781 cc280-1W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) when the National Advisory Council for the Supply and Training of Teachers last met;

(2) what is the present membership of the National Advisory Council for the Supply and Training of Teachers;

(3) what are the present functions of the National Advisory Council for the Supply and Training of Teachers;

(4) if he will now disband the National Advisory Council for the Supply and Training of Teachers.

Mr. Edward Short

The council last met on 2nd March, 1965, and the terms of office of its members have now expired. Its activities have since been in suspense and I am considering, in connection with my proposals for a teaching council, how best to revive or replace them.
