HC Deb 19 June 1986 vol 99 c639W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Meirionnyd Nant Conwy, Official Report, 22 May, column 260, when he expects to hear of the arrangements the Data Protection Registrar has made for the issuing of information concerning the act in the Welsh language.

Mr. Waddington

The Data Protection Registrar expects to receive translations of his registration forms shortly. There are, however, some practical issues still to be considered in relation to the handling of forms in the Welsh language and the registrar is not yet able to say when he will be able to bring the forms into use or to issue further guidance in Welsh.
