Greg Lewis, Wales on Sunday
"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.
Critics today described Westminster's decision to splash out the money as an 'absolute ridiculous' waste of money.
The translation has to be produced under the rules of the 1993 Welsh Language Act."
