§ Mr. Gwilym JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he intends to publish his proposals for the teaching of Welsh in the national curriculum; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe Secretary of State for Wales has today published his proposals for Welsh in the national curriculum. These proposals are based on the recommendations contained in the final report of the working group set up by the Secretary of State in April 1988 to consider appropriate attainment targets and programmes of study for Welsh. The proposals are being distributed widely for consultation. Copies will be sent to all primary and secondary schools and made available to governing bodies. A copy of the report has been placed in the Library of the House.
