HC Deb 25 February 1914 vol 58 cc1774-5
88. Mr. ASTOR

asked whether the Carnarvon Board of Guardians, at a meeting on 31st January, decided to send to the Local Government Board their resolutions in the Welsh language as a protest against the refusal of the Local Government Board to sanction expenditure on refreshments for members of the board; whether the present staff of the Local Government Board is capable of dealing with Welsh correspondence; or whether it is intended to meet the wishes of the Carnarvon Board of Guardians by appointing Welsh scholars to translate their communications into English?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Local Government Board have received no report from the guardians in the sense suggested in the question.
