§ Mr. ChannonThere are at present no obligations requiring members of the European Economic Community to recognise one another's teaching qualifications. We would participate in any future Community discussion of such matters.
§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many school teachers are interned; what are the names of the schools in which they were last employed; and whether he is satisfied that in the cases of these schools there has been no infringement on the ban on using school premises for political purposes.
