HC Deb 25 January 1983 vol 35 c374W
9. Mr. Eastham

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is satisfied with the availability of induction schemes for probationary teachers.

Dr. Boyson

The Department has shown its concern by funding a survey of what is being done in this field and I hope we shall find that local authorities are actively supporting appropriate induction programmes for all their newly qualified teachers.
