Even though a Conservative member who is scrutinising the LCO on the Welsh Language in the National Assembly has made rather negative comments, Paul Davies the Conservative spokesman on Education and the Welsh language has declared that he agrees with Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg that all powers concerning the Welsh Language should be transferred to the National Assembly in Cardiff.Paul Davies AM said:"I agree with Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg that legislation concerning the Welsh language should be made in Wales. I also believe that the scope of the LCO should be enhanced, and that there should be no limits on the powers transferred, so that full powers relating to the Welsh language are devolved to the Welsh Assembly. The content of any Language Measure is something that can be discussed in the future. The debate at the moment has to do with who should have the responsibility for legislation, and it is the belief of Welsh Conservatives that legislation should be made in Wales. That is why we support the demand that all powers concerning the Welsh language should move from Westminster to Wales."

This declaration was made less than a fortnight before a planned rally by Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg outside the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay which will be held on May 16^th . Those taking part include Adam Price MP, Hywel Teifi Edwards, Angharad Mair and Catrin Dafydd.Bethan Williams leader of the Language Act campaign for Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg said:"The fact that the official opposition in the National Assembly wishes to extend the scope of the LCO is excellent news. Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg has calling for a New Welsh language Act for many years and our campaign has taken on a new dimension since the LCO was published. We hope that the Conservatives will be able to put further pressure on the Assembly Government, while calling for the transfer of full legislative powers for the Welsh language to Wales."
