Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg has welcomed the commitment to a New Welsh Language Act in the agreement drawn up between labour and Plaid Cymru at the National Assembly.

Dafydd Morgan Lewis, Campaigns Officer for Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg said:"There seemes to be a commitment in the agreement to work together for a new Welsh Language Act that will give the Welsh language official status in Wales, recognize the right of every person in Wales to recieve services in Welsh, recognize the right of all workers in Wales to work through the medium of Welsh, recognize the right to Welsh medium education and to appoint a Language Commissioner for Wales.""Of course we realise that as they stand, these are only promises on paper and that a great deal of work will have to be done before they are fully realized. But the last thing we want is another weak and ineffective Welsh Language Act.""It is worth noting that this commitment to the Welsh language by Plaid and Labour, and the other main parties during the debate in the Assembly yesterday, comes at the same time as the Adecco company in Cardiff bans staff at in Cardiff from speaking Welsh. This ban, which follows a similar ban by Thomas Cook a few weeks ago proves yet again how weak language legislation is in Wales at the moment."Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will continue with their protest against Thomas Cook with a picket in Bangor at 1 o' clock on Friday June 30th .
