HC Deb 24 July 1986 vol 102 cc344-5W
Mr. Williams

asked the Paymaster General if he intends to provide a parallel College of the Air service in Welsh.

Mr. Trippier

The Government's intention is that the College of the Air should provide a service for all parts of the community. The precise means for achieving this, including the scope for Welsh language broadcasts, will be a matter for the College itself to determine, in discussion with broadcasters, education institutions and many others.

I refer the right hon. Member to my right hon. and noble Friend's remarks in another place on 18 July, Official Report columns 1098–99.
