To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish for each local authority area the number of teachers in each of the last three years who have undertaken in-service training and other courses of professional development (a) during school hours and (b) after school, at weekends and during school holidays.

This information is not collected centrally. However, the Department does collect data on volumes of training for which release is or is not required, expressed as training days. I will reply as soon as possible.
