Culture Minister Alun Pugh has been invited to accept the petition on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government.This demonstration also takes place as the consultation on Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg's draft Welsh Language Bill draws to a close. A number of individuals and organisations have participated in the consultation. They include Lord Gwilym Prys Davies, Lord Elystan Morgan, former Archdruid Robyn Lewis, Wyn Hobson, Cwmni Iaith and the Welsh Language Board.Based on the responses received, Cymdeithas yr Iaith will now review its draft Welsh Language Measure and present a new revised document to its members at the Cymdeithas yr Iaith Annual General Meeting in Aberystwyth on March 10th.
