COMMENTING on today's publication of proposals for new Welsh language legislation, Shadow Heritage Minister Paul Davies AM said:
"We will study the Assembly Government's long-delayed proposals in detail.
"All the significant developments in the Welsh language have come under Conservative governments, and we must ensure any legislation builds on the achievements of Lord Wyn Roberts in this area.
"While we remain committed to supporting the Welsh language – as we set out in our 2007 Assembly manifesto – we do not want to see any barriers erected to businesses in Wales which would damage investment and competitiveness, particularly at a time of economic recession."
