§ Mr. Longdenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what arrangements are made by the British Embassy in Washington to further Anglo-American co-operation in English language teaching which was an essential part of the work of the Counsellor (Education) before that post was withdrawn in 1962.
§ Mrs. WhiteThe British Embassy in Washington provides the link between the British Council, which has the primary responsibility for promoting English-language teaching overseas, and the United States State Department and interested agencies. The British Council has no Representative in the United States, but Anglo-American collaboration in English language teaching has been strengthened by a series of meetings of experts and officials and by a visit made to Washington last June by the Director-General of the British Council at the invitation of the United States State Department.
