Nia Griffith – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nia Griffith on 2015-12-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of the forms on his Department’s website is available in Welsh.

Mike Penning

There are 60 Ministry of Justice forms published on gov.uk. Of these, three are translated into the Welsh language, which is five percent of the total. This does not include forms from agencies or arms’ length bodies of the Ministry of Justice. We are committed to providing our forms in the Welsh language where it is clear there is demand.

Guidance for departments on the translation of documents for the Government website is provided by the Government Digital Service and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/content-design/welsh-language-on-gov-uk
