HC Deb 18 December 1975 vol 902 c788W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has made in regard to the linguistic education situation in Wales to the Council of Ministers meeting in Brussels, which is discussing Education and the European Communities.

Mr. John Morris

The position in Wales and other countries with a bilingual tradition has been fully recognised during discussions on educational co-operation in the EEC. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science at my request referred specifically to the importance of the Welsh language in our educational system at the meeting of Education Ministers on 10th December, and the resolution adopted by the Ministers takes this into account.
