HC Deb 03 April 1984 vol 57 c512W
29. Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a further statement about peace studies in schools.

Sir Keith Joseph

I put our views on peace studies on record in my speech, a copy of which is in the Library, at a conference organised by the National Council of Women on 3 March. I hope that the speech will continue to stimulate discussion of the issues involved.

41. Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many local authorities now have schools which contain peace studies in their curriculum.

Sir Keith Joseph

The Department does not collect information in this form, but the evidence available to me suggests that relatively few schools have introduced formal courses in peace studies.
