Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what consideration he has given to adopting a Welsh language policy for his Department.

The Cabinet Office manages the GOV.UK website, through which UK citizens can access government information and digital services. We are working closely with the Wales Office to ensure that the Welsh language content on GOV.UK is underpinned by high quality user research that provides a simpler, clearer and faster service for users.

GOV.UK links to all Welsh-language government transactions (via https://www.gov.uk/cymraeg), and has Welsh-language content for a number of commonly-used services, such as information on car tax and bank holidays. The site also gives government departments the ability to publish Welsh-language content in line with the requirements of their individual Welsh Language Schemes.
