§ Mr. William Edwardsasked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made with preparations for the issue of bilingual motor vehicle licence discs in Wales; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Fred MulleyWe have redesigned the disc to show the necessary details in both Welsh and English. Owing to practical difficulties outside our control, supplies of the new discs cannot be available in time for their issue on 1st January, 1970 as had been hoped. I regret the delay and I hope that it will be possible to commence the issue of bilingual discs throughout Wales in April, 1970
