HC Deb 29 May 1930 vol 239 c1484
82. Mr. HAYDN JONES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Royal Commission on Public Records and to the unanimous recommendation that the public records relating to Wales should be transferred to a proper depository in the Principality; and whether, in view of the accommodation available at the National Library of Wales at Aberystwith, he will cause steps to be taken to effect such transfer?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I find that this matter was fully considered some years ago and it was decided, for reasons explained to the hon. Member at the time, not to make the change suggested. This decision must, I think, stand until new arguments are produced to show that it was erroneous.
