HC Deb 11 November 1988 vol 140 c343W
Mrs. Margaret Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will specify the staffing to be made available to deal with disciplinary matters subsequent to the Scottish Education Department's recently published staffing review.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The non-teaching time required for such duties was among the factors taken into account in arriving at the staffing formula for secondary schools. I am currently considering comments received on a draft circular about staffing provision in schools.
