Mr. Alec Jones

Details are available only from 1970, as follows:

of owner-occupied farms in Wales in each of the past 10 years.

Mr. Alec Jones

Details are available only from 1970, as follows:

Of education are providing the following intensive courses of training in bilingual nursery—infant teaching (a) in-service courses, (b) conversion courses and (c) courses for teachers returning to the profession in each year since 1970; and what expansion in these courses is now envisaged in line with the recommendation in paragraph 20 of the report on nursery education by the Council for the Welsh Language.

Mr. Barry Jones

None specifically for nursery-infant teaching. The initiative for setting up in-service training courses rests mainly with the local education authorities and the colleges, and a review of current provision is being undertaken.
