HC Deb 29 July 1983 vol 46 c621W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what funds are available from his Department for the teaching of ethnic mother tongue languages.

Mr. Dunn

None, directly. Some specific financial support for such teaching is, however, provided both by the Home Office under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 and by the Department of the Environment under the urban programme.
