Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 3:10 pm on 30 January 2019.
Thank you for that answer, Minister. Last year, the North Wales Economic Ambition Board launched a document called 'The Welsh Language in North Wales'. It was a document that was aimed at promoting and increasing bilingualism across the region. The findings in that report identified the fact that employers in both the public and private sector are wanting to have more employees who have the ability to speak both English and Welsh. So, there's a growing appetite, but, unfortunately, there are not sufficient opportunities for people to learn the language, particularly adults. I wonder what work you might be able to do with the North Wales Economic Ambition Board, and others in the North Wales region, to promote opportunities for adults to learn the Welsh language where they don't have any Welsh language skills, so that we can see the sort of ambition in this document fulfilled in the future.
