HC Deb 15 February 1996 vol 271 cc663-4W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many full-time equivalent teachers were employed by each Welsh education authority in:(a) January 1991 and (b) January 1995. [14039]

Mr. Richards

The information requested is given in the following table. Figures refer to school teachers only. Teachers in further and higher education establishments were employed by local education authorities in 1991 but by 1995 the majority were employed by the institutions themselves. Comparisons between the two years would not therefore be meaningful.

Number of full-time equivalent school teachers
Number1,2
Local education authority 1991 1995
Clwyd 3,707 3,212
Dyfed 3,527 3,570
Gwent 4,038 4,049
Gwynedd 2,299 2,232
Mid Glamorgan 5,302 5,443
Powys 1,234 1,184
South Glamorgan 3,733 3,831
West Glamorgan 3,632 3,464
Total 27,472 26,984

Notes:

1 At January each year. Includes teachers based in schools, peripatetic teachers, advisory teachers and teachers in occasional service.

2 Full time equivalent teacher numbers are shown to the nearest whole number.
