66. Mr. O' MALLEYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the appointment of first secretary to the Insurance Commission for Wales was given to a gentleman who, although a native of Wales, was not able to speak the Welsh language; and whether this gentleman, because of his ignorance of the Welsh language, although otherwise a most competent man, voluntarily resigned his position?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe hon. Member is under a misapprehension. The secretary to the Welsh Insurance Commission is, as I have previously stated in the House, a competent Welsh scholar, and no question of his resigning has arisen at any time since his appointment.
