HL Deb 24 May 1989 vol 508 c494WA
Baroness Cox

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will consider setting up an inquiry to investigate.the removal from post by the Governors of Lewes Priory Comprehensive School of two history teachers for insisting on offering the traditional GCE examination alongside the GCSE examination.

Viscount Davidson

No. The deployment of teachers is a matter for their employers. I understand that one of the teachers in question has resigned from his post at this school in order to undertake a programme of retraining. The other teacher has accepted in principle that he will leave the school at the end of the current academic year in order to retrain and take up a post elsewhere in the county.
