Cornish Language
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress she has made on extending the protection of the Cornish language from Part II to Part III of the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages.
- Answer
-
The government recognises the importance of protecting and celebrating the unique cultural heritage and minority languages which exist in the UK. We note the request for greater recognition and protection for the Cornish language and we continue to support Cornish language and culture through a range of measures – from our work to ensure that indigenous and minority languages - including Cornish - form part of the public service remit for television in the UK through the Media Act 2024; to funding of £500,000 for Cornish language and culture work as part of Cornwall’s Devolution Deal.
