The Welsh Government said on November 10 it accepted all 31 recommendations from the second report of the Commission for Welsh-speaking Communities, either fully or in principle. The report focuses on places with moderate or lower concentrations of Welsh speakers and covers settings such as schools, workplaces, sports clubs and online services.

The government plans a national survey of Welsh language use over the next two financial years. It says repeating the survey every five years after that would depend on funding. Ministers also plan to consult on a new Welsh language strategy later this year.
