asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will set up a unit at one of the colleges in Wales for providing crash courses for employees of local government and the local offices of central Government who wish to learn Welsh quickly for use in their everyday work.

There are already available a number of crash courses in the Welsh language provided by university extra-mural departments, local education authorities and other agencies. I have no reason to believe that these are inadequate to meet the needs of central or local government employees who wish to learn Welsh quickly.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales at which further education colleges in Wales courses in business administration are available through the medium of the Welsh language.

None. There is, however, a Welsh-medium secretarial course at the North-East Wales Institute of Higher Education.
