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?
