HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 c529W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many representations he has received in favour of setting up a Welsh language education development body to co-ordinate education through the medium of that language in all parts of the Principality; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Four and two petitions. A Welsh joint education committee working party is currently considering the full implications of setting up such a body and we will consider what action it would be appropriate to take in the light of any recommendations made which directly affect my right hon. Friend's statutory responsibilities for education in Wales.
