Teachers (Hansard, 17 June 1986)

§ Mr. Greenway
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will issue guidance as to the weight to be given to the sexual orientation of those applying for teaching posts in county, voluntary aided and controlled schools; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Chris Patten
As my hon. Friend knows, it is for the employers (local education authorities and, in the case of voluntary aided schools, governors) to recruit teachers, taking due account of candidates' qualifications, experience and suitability for the post. In so doing they will take account of the requirements of relevant legislation, including the Sex Discrimination Act, the Race Relations Act and the Education (Teachers) Regulations 1982, which provide for the Secretary of State to bar persons from employment as teachers on grounds of health or misconduct or on educational grounds.
