Licensing Laws: Language
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the answer of 16 October 2009, Official Report, columns 1144W, on licensing laws: languages, in how many languages tests relating to obtaining a personal licence for the retail sale of alcohol can be taken in; and if he will amend his Department's criteria for accredited personal licence course providers to stipulate that examinations must be taken in English.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 22 October 2009]: Accredited licence course providers decide what languages tests can be taken in. I have no plans to make it a requirement that exams be taken in English only, not least as this would be contrary to the Department's Welsh language policy.
