Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 28 September 2016.
It may be useful if you were to write to me with the detail of the very incident that you’ve described this afternoon, but may I say in general terms, rather than addressing the example that you gave, that I would expect any institution in receipt of funding from Welsh Government to implement their language policy? When we’re talking about the private sector and private businesses, of course, there is a different statutory framework in place for the private sector. At the moment, we are consulting on a new strategy for the Welsh language, for the target of reaching 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050.
Once we’ve published that strategy, I will start the work of consulting on the statutory framework. If Members, or any individual Members, have any comments to make on the private sector, that would be the time for us to have that discussion.
