HC Deb 10 December 1970 vol 808 cc194-6W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the designated bilingual primary schools there are in Wales; and how many pupils there are in each one.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The names of the bilingual primary schools or departments in predominantly English-speaking areas in Wales and the enrolments at January, 1970, were as follows:

in Wales on the advisability of ensuring that electrical generating equipment is available to ensure supplies of electricity to meet emergencies in Welsh hospitals during the period of the work-to-rule in the electrical supply industry.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Hospital authorities have had guidance on the installation of emergency electricity supplies to protect vital medical equipment, lighting in operating suites and delivery rooms and other essential services, and most large hospitals have their own standby generating facilities. For hospitals without these permanent facilities the Welsh Hospital Board was recently advised to make any local arrangements that were possible including the hire of additional generators, and under arrangements made with the Ministry of Defence my right hon. and noble Friend has supplied a number of mobile generators. But the supply of generators is insufficient to meet all the requirements of hospitals and their use has to be restricted to the most essential services.
