HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 c682W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will provide further resources towards recruiting people back to teaching; and if so if he is prepared to increase the budget to its teaching as a career promotion unit.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend announced on 27 January that the remit of TASC would be extended for a further three years beyond April 1990. The future level of funding of the unit is at present under consideration. An important part of TASC's activity will continue to be to promote the re-employment of former teachers.
