I refer the hon. Members to the earlier reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing, North (Mr. Greenway).In January 1989 there were 2,124 full-time teacher vacancies in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in Greater London, equivalent to about 4.3 per cent. of teachers in post. Of these, 1,305 were in nursery or primary schools and 819 in secondary schools.
