HC Deb 29 March 1982 vol 21 c36W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what consideration is given to Welsh language education in the provision of capital expenditure allocations to county councils.

Mr. Michael Roberts

In drawing up such allocations, my right hon. Friend gives full consideration to all bids put forward by the authorities' including any for the provision of premises to be used for Welsh language education.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his policy regarding the language to be used on road signs erected by local authorities and his Department, respectively.

Mr. Michael Roberts

The Welsh Office policy is for bilingual traffic signs to be erected in Wales. Decisions on which language should have precedence are for the respective county councils, and the Welsh Office follows the same practice on trunk roads and motorways.
