§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will make it her policy to ensure that the Health and Safety Commission produces bilingual leaflets and posters for mass distribution within Wales.
§ Mr. McLoughlinDecisions on the publication of guidance on health and safety in languages other than624W English are for the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE). They are very conscious of the needs of Welsh speakers and are seeking to improve the services they provide to Welsh speakers in Wales.
A Welsh language version of the poster, "Health and Safety Law—What You Should Know", and three leaflets in the agricultural series are already available in Welsh.
The development of HSC's and HSE's policy on Welsh language will naturally take into account the measures to be enacted in the new Welsh Language Bill which was announced in the Queen's speech.
