HC Deb 25 June 1976 vol 913 cc689-92W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list in the Official Report the figures for each local education authority in England, of the number of school teachers in post in September 1975, the estimated number who will be in post in September 1976 and the number of vacancies the authority is taking steps to fill in September 1976.

Miss Margaret Jackson

My Department has not yet received returns from all the local education authorities on the number of teachers leaving their service at the end of the summer term, or on the number of teachers they intend to employ this September. The equivalent of 423,465 full-time teachers were regularly employed by the English local education authorities last September. The number for each was as follows:

Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many school teachers who were in post in maintained schools in England in September 1975 he estimates will not hold posts in September 1976.

Miss Margaret Jackson

It will not be possible to give a reliable estimate of the number of teachers leaving service in the maintained schools until my Department has received information from every local education authority on the number of teachers who will be leaving their service at the end of the summer term.
