Supporting and promoting the Welsh Language: An inquiry into the legislative, policy and wider context
The Culture, Welsh Language
and Communications Committee
held an inquiry into supporting and promoting the Welsh language.
Background
As part of its inquiry, the
Committee undertook post-legislative scrutiny of the Welsh
Language (Wales) Measure 2011.
This included assessing the implementation of the legislation, its impact and
effectiveness. The inquiry provided an opportunity to assess the Welsh
Government’s wider policy decisions as a result of introducing the 2011
Measure, specifically around the Welsh language standards.
The Committee also
considered the wider international context, particularly where there are
examples of legislation and language planning that support minority languages.
