HC Deb 17 November 1976 vol 919 c598W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received about the employment opportunities of immigrant teachers: and what replies he has made.

Mr. John Grant

Representations have been made by the Society of Immigrant Teachers to ask whether a survey could be carried out on immigrant teachers similar to the study on women teachers' pay published in the Department of EmploymentGazette.

A study similar to that in the Gazette would not be feasible, since statistics collected by the Department of Education and Science do not make any distinction between immigrant and nonimmigrant teachers.
