HC Deb 05 February 1981 vol 998 c210W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will ensure that teacher training staff in Northern Ireland are treated like their counterparts in England and Wales under the Crombie scheme.

Mr. John Patten

I am not in a position at present to say what the precise form of compensation arrangements may be, because that is bound up with the Government's consideration of the interim report of the Higher Education Review Group on the future structure of teacher education in Northern Ireland.
