Welsh Affairs

I certainly welcome that. It is an innovation that other parties could follow. It should not be left to individuals such as my hon. Friend the Member for Meirionnydd Nant Conwy and me to press public bodies to follow language schemes. We need more progress in that respect and we need more effective policy implementation, a change in attitudes and a change in education, encouragement and support. We also need further legislation. All that will be necessary to achieve the Assembly's vision. Some hon. Members may recall my private Member's Bill last year—the Bilingual Juries (Wales) Bill, which was one small step in the right direction. I hope that we will hear a positive announcement in due course.
