Teachers

Abstract

Since teachers are more strongly represented in the Commons than any other single profession, one would expect their influence there to be considerable. There are at present some 32 members of the National Union of Teachers in the House; they include the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, the Secretary of State for Education and one of his predecessors, a Minister of State for Education, a Government Whip and five other ministers. There are another 11 MPs from the ranks of the NUT‐affiliated Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions, and two from the National Association of Schoolmasters, plus a third who acts as an unofficial spokesman in the House.
