21. Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to take steps to improve the teaching of modern languages in schools.

Dr. Boyson

The Department will shortly be issuing a consultative paper on the place of foreign languages in the school curriculum, as a first step towards the formulation of a national policy on this important topic.
