Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is her estimate of the number of teachers employed in State schools who have a working knowledge of Gujerati, Punjabi, or Hindi; and what they represent as a percentage of the whole.

Miss Margaret Jackson

My right hon. Friend has not the information from which to make such an estimate.

Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will list in the Official Report those local education authorities which run courses in English for people whose native language is Gujerati, Punjabi or Hindi.

Mr. Oakes

My Department does not collect this information.
