Status of the Welsh language

We would take steps to further strengthen the status of the language. We would introduce legislation to ensure that Welsh language place names in the built and natural environments are safeguarded and promoted for future generations.

We would press for the Welsh language to have official status in proceedings at Westminster while we remain part of the United Kingdom.
