SIR - JE Lewis of Llandaff raises a very serious question (Letters, April 16). Why should the majority fund the needs of the minority (ie non-Welsh speakers funding the services and rights of minority Welsh speakers to their own language in our own country). He suggests a vast funding saving. He is without doubt a genius.
LANGUAGE campaigners are planning to send a government minister thousands of text messages in the next few weeks. The messages from Cymdeithas yr Iaith members and supporters, will call on Culture Minister Jeremy Hunt to deliver "a new S4C".

T WOULD be pointless for the Westminster Government to devolve broadcasting responsibility for S4C to Wales without necessary funding first put in place, Carwyn Jones warned yesterday. Speaking from the National Eisteddfod Maes, the First Minister said that any plans for the UK Government to pass the bill to Cardiff would be shunned.

The Welsh Assembly must do more to ensure better Welsh language provision in further and higher education, according to Gareth Butler, a former director of language policy for Plaid Cymru. Mr Butler, an expert on minority language legislation, said the Assembly should include basic education rights in any new legislation it is proposing for Welsh. He has written to the new Culture Minister Rhodri Glyn Thomas saying every student should have a minimum right to access a tutor to discuss their subject during their course together with receiving a list of the course terminology in Welsh. "The present system gives quite substantial rights to some students, who can study entire subjects in the language, while others may receive none," said Mr Butler.
IN 2005, the Conservative Party was given a final choice between two excellent candidates for the leadership: David Davis and David Cameron. In the ballot of more than 198,000 members, Cameron won a resounding victory, clinching 67.6 per cent of the vote against Davis's 32.4 per cent. The activists had chosen the young moderniser explicitly arguing for radical transformation of the Tory party over the more experienced MP who favoured evolutionary change. Though I disagree with him on some issues, I admire Davis and regret his absence from the Coalition Cabinet. But -- as he accepted with grace and dignity - - he was decisively beaten.

IT IS a minority language used by just 6000 people in Scotland, but it will now get its first degree course. The new full-time MA in British Sign Language (BSL), which will be offered by Heriot-Watt University, will help boost the number of people able to use the language. At present, deaf people in Scotland are served by just 50 official interpreters.

I MUST admit I was very concerned with some of the language in recent letters (February 26). In particular John Jones' comments about using genetic engineering as a remedy to homosexuality. Whilst I agree with free speech and people's rights to express their opinions, I find it shocking that people with so-called "good Christian values" seem to express such worrying ideas. Whilst I don't claim to be an expert in religion, I thought Christian values were compassion, caring, forgiveness, loving thy neighbour and standing up for everyone's liberty regardless of who they were or what they had done. Instead all I read is how their rights are eroded and long rants full of hate. For all his faults David Cameron has stood up for the rights of a minority who have been victimised, even though he ...
