§ MR. T. E. ELLIS (Merionethshire)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Local Government Board, the Registrar General's Office, the Board of Inland Revenue, and the Privy Council have, from time to time, issued publications in the Welsh language; and, whether, on reconsideration, he will direct the publication of a Welsh translation of Mr. Bridge's Tithe Inquiry Report?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) () Birmingham, E.I have made inquiry of the Offices named, and it appears that, occasionally, short Circulars and formal notices are issued by them in Welsh. This does not seem to me to constitute a precedent for translating into Welsh a lengthy Report of a Government Commission. I am still of opinion that any demand for a Welsh translation will be best met by private enterprise.
