HC Deb 23 July 1987 vol 120 cc352-3W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether there has been any change in policy towards the training of social workers, residential care and teaching staff within the training schools establishment in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

No. The Department will continue to permit such staff to have leave of absence for further training where this is justified and practical.
