§ Mr. Dormandasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will make a statement on the reduction of 5 per cent. in applications for teacher training places in the current year in relation to future needs.
§ Mr. RaisonThe small drop in entry to training this year is unlikely to have a significant effect on the general supply situation which, as already announced, makes it necessary to plan for larger reductions of the entry to training in 1974 and subsequently.
