Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:03 pm on 22 March 2017.
I should thank the Member for sending me a copy of that document. I haven’t had an opportunity to read it yet; I’ll be doing that over the weekend, perhaps. But I very much appreciate it. May I say this? The language strategy will be a Government strategy, and it won’t be the strategy of any particular department. It’ll be developed across the Government, including every Government department, and then it will be accepted by the Cabinet in order to ensure that it is a priority for the whole of Welsh Government. And so every issue, such as poverty, as the Member has just alluded to, will be part of it, and the ‘cylchoedd Ti a Fi’ provision, as has been raised by Mike Hedges, will also be part of it, and the wider early years provision will also be part of it. This is a comprehensive strategy, and includes all of Welsh Government.
