Official Status Of The Gaelic Language

EDM number 2822 in 2010-12, proposed by Tom Harris on 05/03/2012.

That this House notes that the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 established Gaelic as an official language of Scotland; notes, however, that while UK-based agencies responsible to the UK Government recognise Welsh as an official language, the same does not apply to the Gaelic language; and urges the Government to establish Gaelic on equal terms with English and Welsh.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
