The Welsh Language Schemes (Public Bodies) Order 2012
Under Part II of the Welsh Language Act 1993 (“the Act”) the Welsh Language Board may give notice in writing to any public body to produce a Welsh Language Scheme. The Welsh Language Board has now been abolished and the function of giving notice under Part II of the Act has been transferred to the Welsh Language Commissioner by virtue of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011. Section 6 of the Act lists various public bodies for the purposes of Part II of the Act and provides that the Secretary of State (now the Welsh Ministers) may specify further public bodies for those purposes.
