Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tom Harris (Labour), on Monday, 5 March 2012, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 29 members in total.
OFFICIAL STATUS OF THE GAELIC LANGUAGE
That this House notes that the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 established Gaelic as an official language of Scotland; notes, however, that while UK-based agencies responsible to the UK Government recognise Welsh as an official language, the same does not apply to the Gaelic language; and urges the Government to establish Gaelic on equal terms with English and Welsh.
