The European Commission has said it will not recall more than three million school diaries containing no reference to Easter or Christmas.

The diaries - 330,000 of which were delivered to UK schools - noted Sikh, Hindu, Muslim and Chinese festivals, as well as highlighting Europe Day on 9 May, but missed out Christian holidays.
