§ 19. Mr. Simon ThomasTo ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what her policy is regarding the provision of Government internet services in languages other than English. [148787]
§ Mr. StringerMy policy is that Departments must fulfil their obligations under the Welsh Language Act 1993, and our "Guidelines for Government Websites" make that very clear.
189WI have always made it clear to Departments that I expect them to publish, where effective, in other languages spoken in the UK.
I am pleased to confirm that the newly revised "Guidelines to Government Websites" is clarifying this policy.
