HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 c35W
Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will estimate the number of teachers in state schools with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 and more years' teaching experience, respectively.

Miss Bacon

The information is not available in the form requested. The following figures, for March 1967, give the years of service taken for salary purposes, which are very different from those of actual teaching service.

Years of service for salary Number of qualified full-time teachers in maintained primary and secondary schools
Under 5 68,188
5 or over but not more than 8 40,633
9 or over but not more than 13 40,937
14 or over 139,524
