This newspaper clipping from the Western Mail on 28 February 1983 concerns how the EEC could be asked to help support the setting up of a new Welsh Language Act. Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (The Welsh Language Society) considered that a new language act was necessary and asked Ann Clwyd Euro MP to press for a contribution from the £56,000 set aside for funding for minority languages. The present Act (1967) was considered inadequate; despite its presence, nothing had changed over 20 years. A new Act should embrace Welsh in all walks of life, not just the right to speak Welsh in courts of law.
