Of course, I was very disappointed to see what had happened in this factory in Ammanford. I don't think it just relates to the Welsh language; it relates to the Polish language too. But I do think that we should respect people's rights to speak their language, particularly when that is the indigenous language of the nation. Of course, we do need to ensure that people are aware that people in this country do have rights, and they shouldn't be interfering with people's rights to communicate in the workplace. Of course, I will be having further discussions with the commissioner as to what more can be done to raise awareness, particularly in terms of private business, where many of these problems arise.
