Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:25 pm on 6 March 2019.
Thank you. I look forward to that update. According to your predecessor, Alun Davies, one of the purposes of the Welsh language Bill was, and I quote, to create an institution of the best possible quality and of international level that would bring together the necessary critical mass of talent and expertise to lead language planning to a new, broader and more sophisticated level.
Although the Bill has now been withdrawn, do you agree that we continue to need an arm’s-length body in addition to the commissioner in order to carry out that language-planning work that Alun Davies and myself believe is necessary for the success of your million Welsh speakers strategy?
