More on the Welsh Language LCO
Nothing can better illustrate the problems that the One Wales Government has been having with their bid to draw down powers to legislate on the Welsh Language than the statement currently being delivered in the chamber.
All of the Conservative, Plaid Cymru and Welsh Liberal Democrat Assembly Members not elsewhere on other business are in the chamber, however for most of the statement the Labour Party have been represented by three backbenchers, the Deputy Presiding Officer, the Chief Whip and a Deputy Minister. Not a single Labour Cabinet Minister saw fit to stay for the presentation.

Did anyone else notice Nick bourne speaking Welsh in his speech? I think it was a ten-word sentence, which makes the iPod money worth about £23 a word.
I hope this does not mean he thinks he has justified his expense claim.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt on "yr ydym" being two words, I make it an eighteen-word sentence. So more like £13.
But still, da iawn iddo fe!
