HC Deb 05 February 1986 vol 91 c167W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many markers are normally recruited by the Scottish Certificate of Education Board; and how many have so far been recruited for the 1986 examinations.

Mr. Allan Stewart

The Scottish Examination Board normally appoints about 3,800 markers each year for the Scottish certificate of education and certificate of sixth year studies examinations. At 30 January 1986 the number of markers recruited for the 1986 examinations was 2,492.
