§ 81. Mr. Snowasked the Minister of Education, in view of the rising proportion of scientific and technological literature originally published in Russian, if he will state his plans for an immediate increase in the teaching of the Russian language.
§ Sir E. BoyleSince my right hon. Friend answered a similar question in May the number of secondary schools teaching Russian has further increased to nearly 70. Courses in Russian are also provided by about 40 establishments of further education. He believes that interest in the teaching of Russian will continue to grow and to stimulate further developments in the schools and elsewhere.
