§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is her Department's assessment of the current level of the teaching of the Cornish language; and what measures she proposes to promote the teaching of the Cornish language. [40552]
§ Mr. Robin SquireMy right hon. Friend does not collect information on the teaching of Cornish. She has no proposals to promote Cornish teaching: it is for schools and other education establishments to decide what subjects to teach once they have met the requirements of the national curriculum and other statutory requirements.
