asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they will provide accommodation for the first integrated secondary school in Belfast whose temporary building is no longer available.

I assume that the Question refers to Lagan College which opened last September. The Government do not provide accommodation for independent schools—that is a matter for the school itself.

Her Majesty's Government:How far the fees of overseas students at British universities are funded privately or by scholarships and, if the information is unavailable, whether they will initiate an inquiry so as to evaluate how far students in poorer circumstances are denied higher education.

Information relating to the academic Year 1980–81 is as follows:—

	Sponsored	Self-financed
Undergraduates	5,100	10,200
Postgraduates	10,700	5,200
All levels	15,800	15,400

Students from European Community countries, who pay the subsidised home rate of fee, are excluded from the figures; 2,000 such students were enrolled at British universities in 1980–81.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the draft European Council directive on Freedom to provide Direct Insurance Services other than life assurance (R/95/76) has now been agreed; and, if not, what matters are still in dispute.

The draft non-life insurance service directive has not yet been agreed, despite intensive negotiations under the United Kingdom presidency of the EEC Council of Ministers. The principal questions which remain unresolved concern the degree of governmental control which member states should have over the terms on which service business is done into their territories; the treatment of the taxes on insurance which some member states impose: what degree of freedom of choice of applicable law should be given to the parties to insurance contracts and the treatment of compulsory insurances; and the régime to apply to the branches within the Community of insurers whose head offices are in third countries. There are also a number of other unresolved problems of a more technical nature.House adjourned at eighteen minutes before seven o'clock.
