38.
The Deputy should not infer that because I heard a deputation in relation to the recruitment of teachers for vocational schools the deputation either advocated the re-employment of married women teachers or adverted in any way to such a step being taken.
There could, therefore, be no question of my considering the matter now outside of the general context of the future arrangements for the recruitment of teachers.
Question No. 39 postponed.
