Proceeding contribution from Susan Elan Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 November 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Welsh Language (Non-devolved Departments).


Welsh Language (Non-devolved Departments)

Section 43 of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 is extremely important. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, were the Secretary of State for Wales to give a statement of intent to do so, there would be no barrier to ensuring better Welsh language services in Whitehall Departments? Will he also join me in calling on the Secretary of State to give his section 43 consent?
