HC Deb 26 November 1985 vol 87 cc517-8W
Mr. Alton

asked the Lord Privy Seal if there are any plans for Select Committee reports on ethnic communities to be published in the mother tongues of those communities.

Mr. Biffen

I am informed that following the publication of the report of the Home Affairs Committee on the Chinese community in Britain (HC No. 102 1984–85), the Hong Kong government London office prepared and distributed a summary of the report in Chinese at their own expense.

I am not aware of any plans to publish at public expense Select Committee reports on ethnic communities in languages other than English.
