Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hooper (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.

Education Bill

My Lords, my name is attached to Amendments 117 and 121, and I wish to associate myself with the remarks made by the noble Lord, Lord Quirk, with regard to Amendment 117. Both these amendments were intended to remind us of and to draw our attention to the importance of the teaching and learning of modern languages for communication skills, for understanding other people’s cultures, as an added value for employment purposes and to enable pupils to have a better understanding of their own language. I wish to make that rapid interjection to support these amendments.
