Mr. Alex Carlile

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether there are any proposals by the Government to develop and increase the provision of bilingual schools in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

It is for local education authorities to determine the number and character of schools to be provided in their own areas in the light of local needs and circumstances and having regard to available resources.
