Prime Minister's question asked in the House of Commons, by Brian Iddon (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 on behalf of the Prime Minister.


Engagements

Question
We are desperately short of teachers in the STEM subjects—science, technology, engineering and maths—and the situation is likely to get worse as we move again to teaching the sciences separately. What impact does my right hon. and learned Friend expect if we are to recruit only first-class or upper second-class students to teach those subjects?
Answer

I urge my hon. Friend not to worry about that at all, because like so many other Tory policies it will probably be changed by this afternoon. What will be unchanged is our commitment to science, in which my hon. Friend has played a leading role.
