HC Deb 19 February 1969 vol 778 c119W
Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he is taking to reduce the present primary class maximum; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

I have this matter under consideration, but I am not yet ready to make a statement. I have to take into account not only the improvement in prospect in the supply of primary teachers, but their distribution, and also the demand that a reduction in the maximum class sizes would make on building resources.
