HC Deb 19 October 1989 vol 158 c228W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Prime Minister what representations she has received on the teaching in secondary schools of the history of the last war; what response she has made; and if she will make a statement.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I have been asked to reply.

The Government have received no representations specifically on the teaching of the history of the last war. Some have been received about the proposals for the teaching of history made in the interim report of the national curriculum working group. The group is expected to make its final report to my right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for Education and Science and for Wales before Christmas.
