§ Mr. Ednyfed Hudson Daviesasked the Lord President of the Council in view of the fact that hon. Members for constituencies in which Welsh is widely spoken receive many letters from constituents written in Welsh and that hon. Members have to translate these into English before they can be passed on to Departments where there are no Welsh-speaking civil servants, whether he will propose to the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services) that facilities should 112W be provided for the translation of such documents.
§ Mr. CrossmanTranslation facilities as part of the Library Service are one of the items which the Services Committee are considering. The provision of such facilities would, however, entail additional staff and it would not be easy to fit such staff into the ordinary work of the Library. It will not be possible therefore to provide such a service in the near future.
