HC Deb 22 June 1965 vol 714 c200W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to ensure that Welsh-speaking workers in Wales are always entitled to speak their native language during the course of their employment.

Mr. James Griffiths

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour has the recent incident at Blaenau Ffestiniog under consideration. As regards the wider issues, I received last week, and am now considering, the report by the Committee under the chairmanship of Sir David Hughes Parry which was asked to clarify the legal status of the Welsh language and to consider whether any changes in the law ought to be made.
