HC Deb 27 July 1976 vol 916 c180W
Mr. Hatton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if he will give an estimate of the number of redundancies amongst college staff as a result of a reduced intake into Manchester teacher training colleges next year;

(2) what instructions have been issued by his Department to Manchester Education Committee regarding the intake of students to teacher training colleges next year.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

My Department has proposed the following initial teacher training intakes to the local education authority for 1977:

estimate includes vacancies caused by teachers moving from one local education authority to another, but excludes those caused by teachers moving from one nursery, primary or secondary school to another within the same authority.
