HC Deb 10 December 1984 vol 69 c356W
20. Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has any plans to improve the legal and educational status of the Welsh language.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

My right hon. Friend has responded positively to the desire to enhance the status of the Welsh language, as is shown by the quadrupling of financial support for the language since 1979. I am not convinced that legislation would enhance the broad support the language now attracts.
