§ Sir H. Morris-Jonesasked the Minister of Labour whether, in any vacancy for regional officers in Wales under the Public Assistance Board, he will see that the position is filled by a person fully conversant with the Welsh language?
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am informed by the Assistance Board that while they are fully aware of the importance of ensuring that a reasonable proportion of their staff in Wales is Welsh-speaking, they cannot undertake to make it an indispensable condition of appointment in every case.
