HC Deb 20 January 1942 vol 377 c240W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the importance of post-war trade of a knowledge of Spanish, he can state the number of schools in the London area in which this language is taught on practical lines?

Mr. Butler

According to my information, which extends only to schools under the Board's jurisdiction, instruction in Spanish is being given in the administrative County of London in 39 part-time classes organised under the Regulations for Further Education. One secondary school at present evactuated from the county is providing instruction in the subject.
