§ 55. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to increase the number of Welsh-speaking civil servants in the Inland Revenue department in Cardiff; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThe present arrangements are regarded as adequate. There are very few occasions when it is necessary to transact the Inland Revenue's business in Cardiff in the Welsh language and there are sufficient Welsh-speaking officers in post to deal with these occasions.
