§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many training courses for part-time or full-time interpreters in Welsh and English have been organised by his Department.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesIt has not been found necessary to employ part-time or full-time interpreters in Welsh and English 11W in the Home Office. No training courses have therefore been organised.
There is provision, however, for individual members of staff to apply, under the further education scheme, for assistance toward the cost of a Welsh course leading to a recognised qualification.
