HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 c77W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will ensure that every household in Wales shall receive the official Welsh and English language census forms.

Sir George Young

Census officials have been asked to offer all persons in Wales the choice of completing a census form printed in Welsh or printed in English.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has issued any guidance to census officials to ensure full distribution of Welsh language census forms; and if he will set out the advice given to census enumerators in West Glamorgan to issue official census forms in the English language only.

Sir George Young

Census officials have been instructed to offer all persons in Wales the choice of completing a census form printed in English or printed in Welsh. These instructions apply as much in West Glamorgan as in any other part of Wales.
