Erthygl yn y Western Mail gan Steffan Cravos sy’n ymateb i erthygl Alun Pugh ddechrau’r wythnos.

Alun Pugh naively makes this judgment: “Major companies like Tesco and Ikea are happy to work on extending bilingual provision without the stick of legislation”.

The tokenistic exceptions of sporadic and piecemeal developments to which he refers prove the rule; unless private companies are required by law to operate bilingually, they mostly choose not to do so.

Alun Pugh suggests that a new Welsh Language Act would “alienate the 80% of people in this country who have not been fortunate enough to learn both our national languages”. There is no evidence to support this view and it is surely scandalous for Alun Pugh to be so divisive.
