§ Mr. Terlezkiasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to make available to children of school age information on United Kingdom participation in the Council of Europe and Western European Union; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. RumboldMy right hon. Friend has no plans to do so. He hopes, however, that where opportunity to do so arises in the school curriculum, pupils' understanding of the United Kingdom's relationships with its European neighbours including the functions and work of the European Community, the Council of Europe and the Western Union will be developed as part of the process of learning about political processes and economic matters.
