Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Meirionnydd Nant Conwy (Mr. Llwyd) for making the point that the Welsh language was used, although perhaps not exclusively. We can avoid having these historical discussions simply by recognising that, at one time, Welsh had a different status from the one that it enjoys today. Perhaps we can also agree that progress has been made as a result of the three pieces of legislation that I have mentioned, most recently the Welsh Language Act 1993, which was passed by the Conservative Government.
