Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the cost to the public purse has been of the National Teaching Service pilot in the North West; and how much funding has been allocated to that pilot.
Matching of National Teaching Service teachers with schools in the pilot area is an ongoing process. Once that process concludes, I will write to the Hon. Member with details of the original and current locations of teachers placed, the locations of their schools and the cost of the pilot.
