HC Deb 15 June 1976 vol 913 c133W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what translation assistance service is provided by his Department to the public bodies wishing to feature the Welsh language more prominently on signs, and notices and in publications.

Mr. John Morris

The Translation Unit in my Department is always prepared to advise public bodies in Wales on translation problems. It cannot undertake regular translation work for public bodies owing to its heavy commitments, but so far as is practicable it does some translation work for bodies such as the Post Office and telecommunications boards, and occasionally for those local authorities whose needs cannot otherwise be met.
