MR. LLEWELYN WILLIAMSI beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he has considered the suggestions made to the Board by Welsh educationists relating to the teaching of Welsh in the training colleges of Wales; and, if so, what decision he has arrived at.
§ MR. MCKENNAA new regulation will be inserted requiring that "in training colleges in Wales provision must be made for the teaching of Welsh." The effect of this will be that there must be on the.staff' of every training college in Wales at least one person competent to teach Welsh. It has also been arranged that students may obtain on their ordinary certificate on leaving the college a mention of the fact that they have passed a satisfactory examination in elementary Welsh or, where this is the case, have obtained a mark of distinction in the Welsh language.
§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)Will the right hon. Gentleman send a copy of that Answer to the Irish Secretary.
§ MR. MCKENNAYes, Sir.
