HC Deb 18 March 1965 vol 708 cc307-8W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science at how many secondary schools, universities and other publicly-financed educational institutions in the United Kingdom instruction in the Portuguese language is normally available; and if he will name such establishments.

Mr. Crosland

I understand that Portuguese may be offered as a degree subject in 13 universities (Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London (King's College), Manchester, Newcastle, Oxford, Sheffield, Wales). Courses are available in further education establishments in Birmingham, Carlisle, Leicester, Leicestershire, Liverpool, London, Middlesex, Surrey and Warwickshire. So far as is known, two maintained grammar schools and four independent schools also teach the language.
