§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance he has given to police 337W forces in Wales on the production of bilingual Welsh-English fixed penalty tickets for motoring offences; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe have not issued any formal guidance to chief constables of this question, but there was consultation between the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers before implementation of part III of the Transport Act 1982, which had regard to the practical difficulties of producing and using convenient bilingual versions of the form.
