Wales Produces Leaflet For Asylum Seekers...In Welsh

icWales: Critics slam asylum guide written in Welsh

The Government is spending £10,000 on a leaflet for asylum seekers - written in WELSH.

Taxpayers are footing the bill for the guide even though people seeking asylum are highly unlikely to speak the language.

The translation has to be produced under the rules of the 1993 Welsh Language Act.

Dafydd Morgan Lewis, a spokesman for Cymdeithas yr Iaith, believes it was money well spent.

"Welsh is an official language of Wales," he said. "We should not pick and choose which official documents are produced in it.

"We have members of our ethnic communities who are fluent in Welsh, why should we deny it to refugees?"

Because like most Welsh people they can't speak it!!!
