HC Deb 10 April 1987 vol 114 c422W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ensure that all coroners in Wales issue coroners' certificates in a bilingual format; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There is not sufficient demand to justify this. Coroners in Wales will arrange to issue certificates in bilingual format in any particular case, if requested to do so.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps are taken to ensure that the provisions of the Registration of Births, Still Births and Deaths (Welsh Language) Regulations 1969 and the Coroners (Welsh Forms) Rules 1970 are fully observed in Wales.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There is no evidence of noncompliance with either of these permissive regulations.
