HC Deb 30 November 1983 vol 49 cc490-1W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he is satisfied with the provision and results of Welsh and foreign language teaching in Welsh secondary schools.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

There is always room for improvement and the need to develop provision further in these areas was a theme of both the guidance document "Welsh in Schools" and the consultation document "Foreign Languages in the Schools Curriculum". The forthcoming circular on the school curriculum will ask local education authorities to review and report on policies developed in recent years.
