HC Deb 10 February 1972 vol 830 cc402-3W
29. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what discussions on changes in education and in training and harmonisation in educational policy are taking place with the Council of Ministers regarding British entry into the European Economic Community; and if she will make a statement.

Mrs. Thatcher

None. I know of nothing in the Treaty of Rome that would require us to make such changes or to effect such harmonisation.

55. Mr. John E. B. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how she proposes to provide schooling for the children of British parents employed overseas in the service of Her Majesty's Government or the institutions of the European Economic Community as a result of Great Britain joining the Common Market.

Mrs. Thatcher

In addition to the arrangements which have hitherto been available to British parents serving overseas, facilities will be provided in the European schools of the E.E.C.
