HL Deb 22 March 1976 vol 369 c533WA
Baroness VICKERS

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many local education authorities have not ratified the model agreement drawn up by the teachers' unions which provided for paid maternity leave for all women teachers regardless of their marital status, and what are the names of the local education authorities who have not ratified this agreement.

Lord DONALDSON of KINGS-BRIDGE

There is no central record of the names of local education authorities which have adopted the recommendations in the model agreement drawn up jointly by the local authority and teacher associations. Such recommendations are almost invariably followed by local education authorities.
