HC Deb 20 November 2001 vol 375 c221W
Andrew George

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions when the Government will complete their assessment of the case for specifying the Cornish language within the European Charter for regional or minority languages. [15861]

Ms Keeble

I can assure the hon. Member that Government's assessment of their position on Cornish in relation to the Charter is being given the most careful consideration. We share his interest in a timely conclusion to this work and have said we will do this as quickly as possible. This remains our aim.
