§ Mr. DoddsTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to whom the draft linguistic diversity policy of the National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland has been presented. [98198]

The policy continues to have draft status at present because the outgoing Board of Trustees did not have an opportunity to approve it before the end of their term of office.
929WHowever, it is hoped that the new Board will formally adopt the policy shortly, so that it can be widely circulated as part of the full, external consultation exercise required under the Northern Ireland Act 1998, prior to implementation.
