HC Deb 18 December 1975 vol 902 cc765-6W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made by the EEC since 1973 towards the common recognition of educational qualifications; and if he will state his policy on this matter.

Mr. Mulley

Mutual recognition of qualifications for academic or educational purposes has received attention from various international organisations. Following the Resolutions of EEC Education Ministers of 6th June 1974 and 10th December 1975 the EEC will also be undertaking work in this area. The Government support any practical measures, notably co-operation between authorities and institutions, which enable staff and students to move more freely from one Community country to another.
