Business
Managers discussed the paper and agreed with the Trefnydd’s proposal that
Government and Assembly Officials meet in the first instance to explore how we
can improve the statistics and issues noted in the paper.
Business
Managers raised their concern over other public bodies which submit monolingual
English only documents only, and noted that they may wish to explore (i) which,
if any, public bodies regularly do so and (ii) the way in which committees
commission calls for evidence reflect the duty on public bodies to submit
bilingual documents.
Business
Managers also raised the issue that the Explanatory Memorandums referred to in
the letter are not subsequently translated after the relevant tabling or laying
deadlines have passed. This should also be considered in discussions with WG
officials.
