The Education Minister is to be asked about the cost of French lessons in the Island's primary schools.

Michael MHK Alf Cannan wants to know how much the Department of Education and Children spent on teaching pupils French in the last school year.

The modern language provision for primary schools is due to be cut as part of cost saving measures recently announced by the DEC.

Mr Cannan will also ask how much not teaching French next year will save.

Peter Karran will provide the details when the House of Keys sits on Tuesday.
