HC Deb 07 November 1975 vol 899 cc328-9W
Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has yet received any proposals from the teachers' organisations on the establishment of a Teachers' General Council; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Mulley

Proposals were made in 1970 by a working party on a teaching council for England and Wales which did not prove acceptable to all the teachers' associations. I am ready to consider, in consultation with other interests, any alternative proposals the teachers' associations may put forward jointly.
