It's not my own view, but just to play devil's advocate, a local authority could come back and say, 'We're under-resourced, we're underfunded, we're understaffed, we don't have the skills within our workforce to deliver this at a local and school level, and…

Diolch. Does the new framework for planning Welsh language education need addressing, in your view, considering the issue outlined earlier regarding the definition of Welsh language education?

Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 9
Okay. No problem. Thank you very much. I'm conscious of time, but, just to finalise my questions, to what extent are you satisfied with the duration that the Bill sets for local authorities' WESPs, and do you think it strikes the right balance between a short…

Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 9
Thank you very much, Chair. I think in your responses to previous questions, you’ve covered my first question which was about the delivery at a local, national and school level, so I think we’ve covered that. But just to look at the implementation of the Bill…
