HC Deb 08 November 1976 vol 919 c95W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to allow simultaneous translation of proceedings of the Welsh Assembly in the new building; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

It will be for the Assembly to decide whether it wants simultaneous translation of its proceedings. Plans are being considered for the minimum necessary preparatory work for the wiring of inter-related electrical systems, so that the option will be available to the Assembly to take up if it so decides.

Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what are the latest developments in the plans to house the Welsh Assembly: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Caernarvon (Mr. Wigley) on 1st November 1976.—[Vol. 918, c. 946.]
