I’m not in a position to make any broader comments on this policy field because it’s not my policy as a Counsel General that we are considering here. But I’m extremely surprised to hear the Member’s enthusiasm for the judgment, considering the way the judge looked at the status of the Welsh language in the legislation as compared to the status of English in the legislation. There are extremely important questions raised there; it raises important questions about the equal status of the Welsh language in our courts here in Wales. So, I would recommend that the Member looks at that question, in addition to the other questions she has raised today.
