HC Deb 13 May 1965 vol 712 cc106-7W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will place in the Library a copy of the leaflet on education recently issued by the local education authority in Birmingham, which was issued in 13 different languages.

Mr. Crosland

The Birmingham local education authority has issued a leaflet, called "Learn to speak English", giving details of the special classes in English for adult immigrants provided in this area. The leaflet is in 5 languages—English, Arabic, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu. Copies have been placed in the Library. The authority knows of no leaflet in 13 languages.
