HC Deb 05 July 1984 vol 63 c256W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will undertake not to act upon the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on the Supply and Education of Teachers to end the requirement for teachers of the deaf, partially hearing and blind to hold a special qualification, until he has heard the views of the people and organisations who are concerned by the recommendations.

Mr. Dunn

The report of the advisory committee contains a number of closely linked and inter-dependent recommendations. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales, intend to consult interested organisations before reaching decisions on them.
