HC Deb 12 June 1967 vol 748 c84
29. Mr. Alan Lee Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what funds and personnel are made available by Her Majesty's Government to the British Atlantic College.

Mr. William Rodgers

The grant given to the Atlantic College for the year 196667 was the final one and no personnel have been made available to the College.

Mr. Williams

Would my hon. Friend agree that the amount of money that Her Majesty's Government spend on the Atlantic College, which I in no way wish to disparage, is in sharp contrast to the amount of money that official sources give to the Council for Education in World Citizenship? Would my hon. Friend be prepared to look at this matter to see whether a larger grant could be given to the C.E.W.C. which receives only £950?

Mr. Rodgers

I am not sure that the comparison is as exact as my hon. Friend implies, but I will certainly look at the matter as a whole, though I should point out that responsibility for the Council for Education in World Citizenship is that of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science.
