HC Deb 10 February 1999 vol 325 c296W
Mr. Andrew George

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to co-ordinate Government policy on the future development and status of the Cornish language. [68662]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

We are discussing with colleagues in home departments the impact of the Council of Europe's Charter for Regional or Minority Languages on the Cornish language. This is, ultimately, a matter of domestic rather than foreign policy.
