§ MR. J. MACVEAGHI beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, for the convenience of the Irish-speaking population in Ireland, he will cause copies of the Old-Age Pensions Act, and copies of the forms and regulations appertaining thereto, to be printed in Irish.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEI understand that no difficulty has been experienced by pension officers in Ireland in regard to the language question. Should any case of hardship be brought to my notice, I should be very glad to make the necessary arrangements to deal with it.
§ MR. J. MACVEAGHIs the right hon. Gentleman thinking of printing the regulations in any other language than English—Welsh, for instance?
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEI have already explained to hon. Members for Scotland that if any grievance is brought to my notice I am ready to print the regulations in any language.
