asked the Minister of Labour how many teachers have already been offered release from the forces under Class B; what proportion have accepted; and what proportion of teachers in Class A or B have declined to return to their teaching posts.

As regards the first two parts of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Huddersfield (Mr. Mallalieu) on 9th October, a copy of which I am sending to him.The information asked for in the third part of the Question is not available.
