An Assembly Legislation Committee has concluded that there is a need for wide-ranging changes to be made to the Welsh government’s proposed Welsh language measure.
They called for a clear statement in the measure that English and Welsh are the official languages of Wales. They also want the budget for regulating and promoting the Welsh language to be scrutinised annually by an assembly committee.
Another of the report’s recommendations is that the assembly should be given final approval of the appointment of a new Welsh language commissioner.
The Finance Committee’s report on the cost of the new regime is due out next week.
