HC Deb 20 July 1967 vol 750 cc291-2W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will ensure in all official documents for which he has responsibility that, where a place in Wales has both a Welsh and an English name, both names will be used with equal prominence.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The language of the document usually determines whether the Welsh or English version of place-names is used.

Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to co-ordinate the policy of all Departments of State in regard to the use in Wales of the Welsh language on Government buildings, vehicles and public notices.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

There is a constant process of co-ordination on this matter but the final action is for the individual Departments concerned to take.
