Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House – in the Senedd at 2:55 pm on 24 January 2018.
Andrew R.T. Davies raises an extremely important point. I have not yet had any extensive discussions on that. I've had a lot of discussions about English for speakers of other languages courses, and making sure that people who come to live here in Wales have access to English as a second language tuition.
It is on my agenda to have that conversation. I'm very aware, as well, because I represent the centre of Swansea—so, a very similar ethnic make-up—and this will be of resonance to those of us who come from Wales, that we have a large number of people in Wales who speak the secondary language of their country and not the primary language. So, we have a particular issue in the translation services around making sure that people who don't speak the primary language of their country but actually speak a secondary language also are served by that. I'm having quite an involved conversation with various people in my own constituency about how we might best serve that, and I plan to bring some of those experiences to this role when I have those conversations, which I'm due to have shortly.
