8. Will the First Minister make a statement on the role that the Welsh language has played in the development of Cardiff as Wales's capital city? OQ56567

Llywydd, thank you very much. Cardiff is today the home of a thriving and multicultural Welsh language community and this is part of what makes the city distinctive, and underpins its status as capital.

Thank you, First Minister. In 1936, Vale of Glamorgan farmer Lewis Williams left Tŷ'r Cymry to the Welsh speakers of Cardiff and over the years it has not only become a beacon of support for the language, but also a cultural hub as well. Sadly, as recent news reports have shown, this building is on borrowed time and no longer features in the future plans of the trustees who have recently tried to sell the property. With this in mind, what steps can the Welsh Government take to ensure that Tŷ'r Cymry remains for the benefit of the Welsh-speaking community in Cardiff?

I thank the Member for that question, Llywydd. I'm not familiar enough with the detail of it to be able to give him the sort of answer that the question deserves this afternoon, but I'm very happy to say that we can look at it and then I'll write to him with a follow-up reply.

Thank you, First Minister.
