HC Deb 22 November 1976 vol 919 c862W
Mr. Alexander Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why the United Kingdom Government has not signed the Protocol on the Setting-up of European Schools; if it is the intention to sign this Protocol; and if she is aware that British children of Eurocentre officials are being disadvantaged by this omission.

Mr. Oakes

The United Kingdom adhered to the Statute of the European School, including the 1962 Protocol on the Setting-up of European Schools, on 1st September 1972. I will write to the hon. Member to explain the position in regard to British children of Eurocontrol officials.
