HC Deb 21 June 1910 vol 18 c194
Mr. EDGAR JONES

asked the President of the Board of Education how many of the women inspectors of schools in the service of the Department had a competent knowledge of the Welsh language?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Runciman)

So far as I am aware, none. Perhaps I should explain that the women inspectors are appointed with a view to special qualifications in special subjects. I have never heard of any of the women inspectors working in Wales finding themselves embarrassed by ignorance of Welsh.
