HC Deb 28 November 2000 vol 357 c585W
Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will review the procedures for redundancy and redeployment of teachers in schools with falling school rolls. [140604]

Ms Estelle Morris

Adequate arrangements already exist to ensure that local education authorities can minimise the effect of redundancies by redeploying teaching staff subject to the consent of schools with vacancies.
