HC Deb 02 November 1954 vol 532 c29W
56. Mr. T. W. Jones

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why a Welsh-speaking Welshman was not appointed Permanent Secretary of his Welsh Office in Cardiff.

Mr. Sandys

Despite exhaustive search, my predecessor was unfortunately unable to find a Welshman of suitable rank and with the necessary experience to fill this post: and so he appointed a Scot.
