I have a question following what the Minister said. I was an insecurely employed teacher for a long time before I got a permanent job. I would welcome any improvement, but when will the Ward report be fully enacted? It was talked about a year ago and a draft report was mentioned on one of the union websites back in March. It seems to me that everything that is discussed regarding teaching concerns how can we sack them and get rid of them.

Will the Minister bring forward something about how we can actually give teachers a little security in order that they can get a mortgage, find a house to live in or pay their rent, which is the big problem facing most teachers at the moment? Will the Minister indicate the dates when that will be brought forward?
