HC Deb 04 December 1974 vol 882 c500W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements are made for the use of the Welsh language before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax at Turnstile House, London and before the Special Commissioners when in Wales.

Dr. Gilbert

No arrangements are made for the use of the Welsh language before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax at Turnstile House, London; the Welsh Language Act 1967 applies only to legal proceedings in Wales, and there are no statutory requirements for use of the Welsh language elsewhere.

The Welsh language could be used before the Special Commissioners when in Wales provided prior notice was given so that appropriate arrangements could be made.
