"The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Bill [SP Bill 69] was introduced on 13 November 2002 by Mike Russell MSP as a Member’s Bill. The Bill places a duty on certain public bodies to prepare, publish and implement a Gaelic language plan. The Bill also establishes a basis of equality between the Gaelic and English languages. This paper provides background information on the Bill, the policy objectives of the Bill, the Scottish Executive’s policy, the official status of Gaelic, the legislative proposals and their funding implications, the responses to the Bill’s consultation and, finally, a brief overview of Welsh language legislation."
