Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to ensure that the Welsh language is taken into account in his Department's policy development processes.

We expect all policy making to take account of the needs of all parts of the UK, including Wales, and continue to build up our policy making capability to do so. The government fully recognises the importance of the Welsh language in providing services to citizens. For Cabinet Office, the priority is to make sure that GOV.UK carries high quality Welsh content and to provide the tools for other parts of government to publish in both languages.
