§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) what help the British Government intend to give the College of Europe at Bruges in Belgium for the training of public servants in international administration;
(2) if he has considered the report of the Committee on Education, Cultural Affairs and Information of the North Atlantic Assembly, a copy of which is in his possession; and what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding its recommendations that there should be a pilot scheme for international training at the College of Europe in Bruges for those persons who are in important administrative positions in their respective countries.
§ Mr. William Rodgers:Her Majesty's Government give a grant of£2,500 per annum to the College of Europe in Bruges but this is not tied to any particular aspect of its activities. We will be considering recommendations of the North Atlantic Assembly, including the 12W ones to which my hon.
