HC Deb 10 December 1980 vol 995 c399W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what advice is to be given to local education authorities over the inclusion or otherwise of religious education among the list of shortage subjects for the purpose of implementing the Burnham circular BAC/200.

Dr. Boyson

None. The Burnham Primary and Secondary Committee has asked the local education authorities what measures they have taken or propose to take to tackle the problems of shortage subjects teaching. It is for authorities to decide which subjects they wish to include in their returns.
