42. Sir Anthony Myerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will discuss with his European Economic Community counterparts methods of improving language teaching in schools in the interests of co-operation in the Community.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneMy right hon. and learned Friend did so last June, but money was not included in the 1981 Community budget to start implementing the proposals agreed by the Education Ministers. My right hon. and learned Friend strongly agrees that modern languages are a good area for European Community co-operation.
