HC Deb 17 January 2002 vol 378 cc446-7W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) when she will publish the number of teacher vacancies in maintained schools in each local education authority area in January; [26583]

(2) how many teacher vacancies there are in England broken down by local education authority area; and in each case what the figure is as a percentage of the establishment figure at the time of the annual census of teachers in January 2002. [26400].

Mr. Timms

The latest available information on teacher vacancies in each local authority, for January 2001, is published in my Department's evidence to the School Teachers' Review Body in September 2001. This is also available on the DIES website at www.dfes.gov.uk/teachingreforms/rewards/teacherspay/strb_evidence/index.shtml.

As in previous years, provisional summary data on teacher vacancies at national and regional level in January 2002 are expected to be published in April or May. Teacher vacancy information at local education authority level will be published in the DfES evidence to the School Teacher's Review Body in September 2002. It will also be published later in "Statistics of Education, Teachers, England", 2002 edition.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what information she has collated on the number of teaching vacancies which have to be re-advertised. [28528]

Mr. Timms
