- To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what facilities her Department has to deal with telephone inquiries in (a) Welsh, (b) Scots Gaelic and (c) Irish Gaelic.

My Department operates a Welsh Language Act Scheme in accordance with section 21(3) of the Welsh Language Act 1993.

We have no facilities to deal with telephone inquiries in Scots Gaelic or Irish Gaelic.
