asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many teachers obtained professional qualifications in Scottish teacher training colleges in 1974, 1973 and 1972, respectively; what percentage of these totals took up teaching posts in Scotland or outside Scotland, respectively; and what percentage obtained other employment.

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies given on 19th November 1974 to the hon. Member for Dumfries (Mr. Monro)—[Vol. 881, c. 407–8.]—and on 27th February 1975 to the hon. Member for Inverness (Mr. Johnston). I will write to the hon. Member when information is available about teachers qualifying and entering service in Scottish schools in 1974.
