Oral Answers to Questions

Hywel Williams Excerpts

Wednesday 2nd February 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jones]

It is a matter on which my right hon. Friend and I have already been in touch with the Department for Transport, and I understand that that Department and the Driving Standards Agency are looking into possible redeployment options for those affected. Certainly the individuals concerned will need as much support as possible and I will work with ministerial colleagues to ensure that as much as can be done is done.

[Hywel Williams (Arfon) (PC)]

What assessment have the Government made of the effect of job losses on the already unsatisfactory service that the DSA provides through the medium of Welsh?

[Mr Jones]

I understand that the proposed closure will have no impact on services through the medium of Welsh.
