§ Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is her estimate of the total number of school teachers who will be unemployed during 1977 in England and Wales.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonI cannot usefully offer any estimate of the number of unemployed teachers over the next year, since the determining factors are too uncertain. The next count of persons registered by the Department of Employment as seeking teaching posts will be in March.
