HC Deb 06 March 1970 vol 797 cc197-8W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will ensure that those official forms which are printed in Welsh are as easily available as are English forms, and that the public are made conscious of their availability.

Mr. George Thomas

Welsh versions of such forms are readily available in Wales. The Government Departments concerned are responsible for providing information to the public about them. In addition, details of new forms avail- able are published annually in my White Paper on Wales.

Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was his reply to the petition from 70 per cent. of Welsh psychiatrists requesting that bilingual forms be used in Welsh mental hospitals.

Mr. George Thomas

This is still being considered.
