HC Deb 12 March 1925 vol 181 cc1563-4W
Captain A. EVANS

asked the Home Secretary if he is aware that, in the Courts of Law in Wales, the oath may be taken in Welsh only through an interpreter, as for a foreign language; and will he take the necessary steps to remove this disability?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Inquiries made two years ago into this matter did not disclose any such uniform practice as is suggested in the first part of the question, but if my hon. and gallant Friend will state precisely what it is that he considers objectionable and what change be desires to see made in the existing practice, I will give his suggestion my most careful consideration.
