§ Mr. Callaghanasked the Minister of Education whether further consideration has been given to the question of Soviet 118W studies in school examinations as promised in Circular 81; and whether she has been in touch with the Soviet Minister for Higher Schools to effect an exchange of students and teachers.
§ Miss WilkinsonThe place of Russian in the syllabuses of secondary school examinations will be a question for consideration by the Secondary School Examinations Council which is being reconstituted. In reply to the second half of the Question, I understand that an official invitation was extended last September to the Soviet Authorities to send a delegation to this country to work out a scheme for such an exchange. I hope that this invitation, which has recently been renewed, will soon receive a favourable reply.
