HC Deb 27 November 1978 vol 959 cc31-2W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps she has taken to ensure that schools are provided with up-to-date educational documents which relate factually the status of the United Kingdom as a member of the European Economic Community; and if she will make a statement.

Miss Margaret Jackson:

The provision of educational material about the United Kingdom's place in the European Economic Community and about the Community generally is a matter for local education authorities and individual schools. My Department has consulted local authorities, teachers' associations and other interested bodies about a communication by the EEC Commission on educational activities with a European content and the study of the European Community in school.
