A deputation of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg activists who met Peter Hain the Wales Secretary said after the meeting that they were deeply disappointed and frustrated with the whole process. Menna Machreth (Chair of Cymdeithas) along with Bethan Williams and Ffred Ffransis had gone to the meeting to discuss the LCO on the Welsh language.Menna Machreth, speaking on behalf of the deputation said:"While we were given to understand that the LCO will be discussed on the floor of the House of Commons in December and the Privy Council in February we feel deeply disappointed and frustrated with the whole process and wonder whether the LCO is worth the paper it is written. This is because the LCO will have hardly any effect at all on the private sector and high street shops. There will be no obligation on most of the private sector to provide a bilingual service."Menna added:"On November 6^th this year Osian Jones will face a prison sentence for his part in the campaign for a stronger and more effective Language Act. His imprisonment should have signalled a closure on this campaign. But the LCO on offer seems to weak and ineffective that our direct action campaign for linguistic rights seems destined to continue, and we will see more and more people go to prison."
