HC Deb 24 May 1979 vol 967 cc261-2W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the pupil-teacher ratio in each of the primary schools of the Dundee division of the Tayside region and the corresponding figures for the Tayside region and Scot land.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Since 1975, statistics from the annual school census have not been produced for parts of Tayside region. At September 1978 the overall pupil-teacher ratio in primary schools in Tayside region was 21.1:1. The corresponding figure for Scotland was 21.3:1.
