HC Deb 05 March 1976 vol 906 c773W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his estimate of unemployment this autumn among teachers who will qualify in 1976 having taken special courses for the education of severely handicapped.

Mr. Mulley

Because of the several uncertainties, including the rate of wastage from the profession, it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of the number of teachers in any category who may be unemployed.
