HC Deb 03 July 2001 vol 371 c85W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on the employment rights of teachers facing(a) redundancy and (b) redeployment. [2200]

Mr. Timms

Although rare, teachers can face redundancy and redeployment when the need for their work at a particular school ceases or diminishes. Nevertheless, they enjoy the same general employment rights under the law as employees in other occupations.
