HC Deb 01 June 1916 vol 82 c2911
104. Mr. ELLIS DAVIES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Welsh-speaking officers in the 17th Royal Welsh Fusiliers are not allowed to speak to the troops in the Welsh language, and that an order has been issued prohibiting the Welsh troops from speaking to one another in their native language; and whether he will give immediate instructions for the withdrawal of such an order?

Mr. TENNANT

I am making inquiry into this matter.
