Bòrd na Gàidhlig has submitted a response to the Scottish Parliament’s consultation, Financial Memorandum of the Scottish Languages Bill. Amongst the points raised, we said:

“The Financial Memorandum outlines, at paragraph 6, that “This is a Bill to ensure that there is a structure in place across government and the wider Scottish Administration to meet the needs of Gaelic and Scots communities and languages for the future.” Bòrd na Gàidhlig welcome this aspiration, however, we have concerns that this is achievable under the current financial model”
