HC Deb 21 March 1929 vol 226 c1837
25. Mr. JOHN

asked the President of the Board of Education what instruction in Welsh is at present given in Llandovery College; and, seeing that the intent of the founder of the college is not observed nor the endowment deeds enforced, what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Lord E. PERCY

I have no recent information about this matter, but I will have inquiries made.

26. Mr. JOHN

asked the President of the Board of Education whether consideration has been given to the recommendation of the departmental committee on Welsh in education and life, that a chapter on the teaching of Welsh be included in the Board's suggestions for the consideration of teachers as soon as practicable; will he state what steps have been taken; and when the suggestions will be issued?

Lord E. PERCY

A chapter on the work of the primary schools in Wales, with special reference to the teaching of Welsh, is being prepared and will, I hope, be issued shortly.
