Proceeding contribution from Wayne David (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 October 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Welsh Language).


National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Welsh Language)

Yes, well, we do not want to get into an historical debate about the Act of Union 1536—which was mentioned earlier—the Marches, Wales and so on. The good thing about our discussion is that we are not talking about imposing measures on people who do not want to see their local communities threatened in any way. However, we want new opportunities to be created for the acceptance and the use of the Welsh language, which is the correct frame of mind in which to approach the issue.
