HC Deb 01 December 1969 vol 792 cc226-8W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to give publicity to Welsh speakers of the numerous forms now available in the Welsh language.

Mr. George Thomas

A list of the Government forms translated into Welsh, as at December 1968, was published in Cymru: Wales 1968 (Cmnd. 3930) and a further list of those translated since will appear in Cymru: Wales 1969. Apart from this, Government Departments and other authorities which issue forms in Welsh take appropriate steps to ensure that the public is aware of their availability. Special publicity is, of course, unnecessary in the increasing number of cases where forms are being issued bilingually.
