HL Deb 13 January 2005 vol 668 c74WA

Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many Catholic and Protestant teachers are employed in (a) Catholic maintained schools; and (b) all other schools. [HL215]

Baroness Amos

The Department of Education in Northern Ireland does not hold statistical information on the religious breakdown of teachers employed in schools. The various employing authorities that are responsible for employing teachers hold this information. However, the information is not readily available and could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost.
