HC Deb 08 July 1980 vol 988 c103W
21. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will meet Secretaries of State for Education from European Economic Community countries to discuss co-ordination of European Economic Community policies on overseas students; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

My right hon. and learned Friend is always ready to attend meetings of European Community Education Ministers to discuss issues of common concern and attended such a meeting on 27 June. He sees no opportunity at the moment of raising with them the co-ordination of European Economic Community policies on overseas students, but he will keep the matter in mind.
