§ 29. Mr. G. Robertsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether expenditure incurred by local authorities in Wales who print documents in the Welsh language ranks for grant to the same extent as when they are printed in English.
§ Sir K. JosephThere is no specific grant for the printing of documents in either language but the expenditure ranks for rate-deficiency grant.
§ Mr. RobertsIs there a list of approved items for this purpose in both languages? Will the Minister consider issuing a comprehensive statement on the matter and distributing it among all Welsh authorities, as there is uncertainty as to the position?
§ Sir K. JosephThat would involve a number of my right hon. Friends, but I will certainly consider the hon. Member's suggestion.
