§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will give an assurance that the present method whereby local education committees are responsible for the 246W schools' curriculum will be maintained after Great Britain's entry into the European Economic Community; and to what extent there will be eventual harmonisation and uniformity generally and with higher education in particular, settled and directed from the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeYes, I know of no proposal to secure general harmonisation and uniformity in education. The Treaty of Rome refers only to
mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other qualificationsin the context of freedom to practise a profession in another country.
