§ Mr. OakesFour altogether by my Department in 1976. Three of these were annual questionnaires about numbers of teachers and pupils which were sent to a total of about 2,500 independent educational384W establishments; it is not known how many of these establishments were run by companies or self-employed business people. The fourth, undertaken in conjunction with the other education departments, was an ad hoc questionnaire for the National Census of Staff in Librarianship and Information Work that was issued to 6,188 organisations throughout the United Kingdom, some 40 per cent. of which were classed as being in private industry or commerce.
