HC Deb 28 April 1969 vol 782 c154W
32. Mr. Luard

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he as taken to implement the resolution passed at the last General Assembly of the United Nations, and supported by the British delegation, calling for the implementation of a programme of education on the work of the United Nations in the schools of member nations.

Mr. Foley

The text of the Resolution has already been sent to the Schools Council by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science. His Department's Circular on "International Affairs and the Commonwealth in Education", which is issued annually to local education authorities and direct grant and independent schools, will this year include information about the Resolution, and will emphasize the importance of the United Nations, and the opportunity which the 25th Anniversary in 1970 will offer for special attention to its work.
