Chief Land Registrar's Report
Language Choice
We are assessing the demand for information in languages other than English
and Welsh and we have staff who can speak in languages other than English.
Welsh Language
The Registry has continued to enhance the provision of services in Welsh.
Since 1 October 2001:
- every register template produced at the Local Office for Wales
has been printed in bilingual format
- all headings and standard information on registers of titles in Wales now
appear in Welsh and English
- individual entries now appear in the language (English or Welsh) of the
source document on which they are based
- Most pages on the Agency's website http://www.cofrestrfatir.gov.uk are
available in Welsh - a comprehensive bilingual website will be available by
March 2003.
A second edition of the Welsh Language Scheme was endorsed by the Welsh
Language Board in January 2002 and has been distributed widely throughout Wales.
