HC Deb 16 April 1889 vol 335 c613
MR. THOMAS ELLIS (Merionethshire)

asked the President of the Local Government Board what was the reason for the long delay in the publication of the Welsh version of the Local Government Act?

*MR. RITCHIE

The Welsh translation of the Local Government Act is complete, and the whole of it is in type, and the proofs are with the translator for revision. I will press for the revision being proceeded with as rapidly as possible. The delay in the publication probably arises from the difficulty of printing the Welsh language.
