asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many (a) primary and (b) secondary teachers are currently unemployed in each authority area in Wales; and what is the ratio of pupils to teachers in each authority area at the latest date for which information is available, and at comparable dates for each of the last five years.

I am advised by the Electricity Council that this information could only be obtained by boards at disproportionate expense.
