HL Deb 14 March 2002 vol 632 c97WA
Lord Alli

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they plan to celebrate Europe Day in 2002 and to use the occasion as an opportunity to educate young people about Britain's role in the European Union. [HL3116]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The FCO has developed a new website, www.europeday.gov.uk, to raise awareness of Europe Day and of Britain's role in Europe. It is hoped that the website format and the style of the content will primarily appeal to teenagers and young adults. It will feature information about Europe Day and the European Union, details of Europe Day celebrations and a quiz to promote an interest in European affairs. The site was launched on 6 March 2002.
