Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many teachers who signed up to take part in the National Teaching Service pilot in the North West beginning in January 2017 have subsequently withdrawn from that pilot.
The pilot has not concluded as 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 number of withdrawals from the pilot.
