To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he received a copy of the Assistant Masters and Mistresses Association report, "The Workload of Secondary Teachers", a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

My right hon. and learned Friend is grateful to the Assistant Masters and Mistresses Association for sending him a copy of this report. It points clearly to the need for schools to look carefully at the way they use their teachers' time, and at the optimum balance of teaching and non-teaching duties for individual members of staff.
