We welcome the intention to legislate in this area, and we are pleased to see cross-party consensus behind the objectives of the Bill in the scrutiny process so far. All political parties now accept that the Welsh language belongs to everyone in Wales, that the language should be a fundamental right for every child in Wales, and that bold legislation is needed to make this a reality.

However, we do not believe that the Bill in its current form will be transformative in achieving these objectives. We have outlined five core points to be amended in the draft Bill in order to ensure its success and give every single child the right to be able to speak Welsh confidently.
