HC Deb 25 June 1985 vol 81 cc350-1W
47. Mr. Favell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of those employed by local authority education departments perform teaching duties.

Mr. Dunn

Joint manpower watch provisional figures for March 1985 show that teachers or lecturers were 59 per cent. of the total staff employed in local authority education in England. Separate figures are not available within the 59 per cent. of teachers and lecturers who are actually engaged on teaching duties.
