HC Deb 05 December 1985 vol 88 c284W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to improve facilities in secondary schools for the teaching of mathematics and modern languages; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chris Patten

Arrangements for the teaching of mathematics and modern languages are the responsibility of the local education authorities and the schools themselves. The Department's architects and building group has published design advice on secondary school accommodation.
