HL Deb 04 May 2004 vol 660 cc95-6WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why a leaflet produced by the Northern Ireland Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety entitled The New GP Contract (reference 299/2003) is not available in the Ulster Scots language. [HL2467]

Baroness Amos

In keeping with the department's policy on publications, the leaflet in question was produced in English only. The leaflet indicates that it will be made available in Irish, Chinese, large print, audio tape and Braille and states that consideration will be given for translation into other minority ethnic languages on request.
