HL Deb 22 February 1982 vol 427 c822WA
Lord Blease

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will indicate the number of temporary teaching vacancies in schools in Northern Ireland that have been filled by teachers over compulsory retirement age in each month during the past two years.

The Earl of Gowrie

Details of temporary vacancies are not readily available. However, the number of teachers over compulsory retirement age employed in temporary posts during each month of 1980 and 1981 is shown below. The number of temporary vacancies may be slightly different because some teachers may have been in more than one post during any particular month.
