§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will provide details of the percentage of black teachers and white teachers by local education authority; what are their percentages in respect of salary scales; what is the percentage who have head or deputy headships; and if he will make a statement on the number of black teachers who are in teacher training.
§ Mrs. RumboldThis information is not available. However, as announced by my right hon. Friend on 28 577W October 1987 at column 261, a draft circular on the collection of this information has been issued for consultation. Additionally, the Department issued a consultative document on 8 March on the collection of ethnically based statistics for students in further and higher education, including those in teacher training.
