§ Mr. Normantonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the establishment of the European school for the children of staff at the Community Joint European Torus establishment at Culham is proceeding satisfactorily and on exactly the same principles as those which apply in other Community institution centres in Europe; and if, in particular, she is satisfied that British staff are not being placed in any less favourable position than staff from other member States.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonThe European school at Culham will open this September in part of the premises of Culham college of education. In common with the eight European schools already in existence, it will be established according to the Statute and Protocol of the European Schools.
All teachers at the Culham school will be paid salaries laid down by the teaching staff regulations of the European schools. It is not my right hon. Friend's intention, however, to seek a change in 598W existing legislation in order to exempt British teachers from tax on any part of their salaries.
