HC Deb 13 May 1968 vol 764 c205W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Health what plans he has to ensure that persons who wish to register in the Welsh language the birth of their children may do so at local registries in Wales and to ensure that this right be brought to their notice by local registrars.

Mr. K. Robinson

It is already open to all parents in Wales and Monmouth-shire to have the births of their children registered in Welsh as well as English. Where there is no Welsh-speaking registrar or deputy in the sub-district of birth, bilingual registration may be effected in a neighbouring sub-district. While these facilities appear to be generally known, the Registrar General is arranging for a notice to be displayed in all register offices in Wales and Monmouth-shire.
