HC Deb 09 May 1983 vol 42 cc187-8W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list in the Official Report the literature and posters made available by his Department which are written in ethnic minority languages; which minority languages are employed for this purpose; whether each document is also published in English in every case; what is the total cost of this documentation to public funds; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Butcher

In autumn 1982 we advertised aspects of the Department's small firms services in Akhbar-E-Watan and the Weekly Gleaner. Urdu was used in one and English in the other. The total cost to public funds: £1,958.
