Notice of Motion from Councillors D Phillips, J Burtonshaw, J Miles, B Lloyd, C Thomas, R Stewart, M Child, R Francis-Davies, C Richards and P Matthews Swansea should be rightly proud of the participation of pupils and young people in arts activity. Swansea has an enviable record in regards to Arts in Education because of the innovative and excellent work done by it & its predecessor authorities. However, it is understood that a consequence of the ongoing LEA review and restructuring, is that posts have been deleted from the Education Advisory Service, specifically the Co-ordinator for the Arts. Council therefore calls upon the relevant Cabinet Member to advise Council how the outstanding work that has been done in regards to encouraging both pupil participation and the promotion, support and facilitation of such activity in and between schools and other organisations is to be maintained in the future. 3 18.

    eSharp Issue 6:2 Identity and Marginality Regressive History and the Rights of Welsh Speakers: Does History Matter? Gwenllian Lansdown ( Cardiff University) Researchers interested in questions of culture and identity are often compelled to investigate and research the historical processes which have contributed to contemporary understandings of who they are and of their place in the world. Certainly, the research which I have undertaken on Welsh identity, liberalism and multiculturalism has inevitably led me to consider the ways in which historical constructions of identity are mediated and understood. For instance, in the case of linguistic identity, it could be argued that the political and philosophical debate on the place of the Welsh language in Wales would be almost impossible to grasp without reference to the historical trajectory which has led to the language's current status.1 But where does that history begin? Who writes history? How far back does one go in attempting to understand the relationship between past and present? These questions are particularly important when considering the tendency to fetishize and sentimentalize the past, particularly so when political discussions take place. Indeed, I have been at pains to avoid the glorification of the past in my work. I have deliberately avoided notions of a 1 Both English and Welsh have de facto official status as public languages in Wales since the Welsh Language Act 1993. The 1993 Act fully repealed the linguistic aspect of the 1536 Act which officially marginalized the Welsh language from public life – see note 11 below. For those who are unfamiliar with the language's current status this is an extract taken from the most recent (2001) Census data on-line: ‘Over a fifth (21 per cent) of the population of Wales said they could speak Welsh in the 2001 Census with similar proportions able to read (20 per cent) and write (18 per cent) Welsh.

    Assembly Members' Services 2005-2006

    Assembly Members' Services 2005-2006 (the Fourth Annual Report of the House Committee under Standing Order 18.12, dealing with the year 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006) October 2006 Foreword by the Presiding Officer The House Committee was a creation of Assembly Members to run their own ‘House’. With the passage of the Government of Wales Act 2006, the Assembly Commission will be responsible for providing services and resources to Members and employ Assembly staff. As this is the last report in this form, may I thank Colleagues, both Assembly Members and Staff, for their commitment to our democratic adventure. May I particularly thank the Chair of House Committee during the whole period of this Report, Dr John Marek AM, for his commitment of time and energy to ‘House’ issues. No other event showed Staff commitment to better effect than the joint efforts by our Staff and Contractors ably led by Managers to get the new Senedd open for public use on time. St David’s Day’s Royal Opening gave us world- wide positive coverage and the Welsh public has voted with their feet by visiting us in huge numbers. Let’s hope they will also vote with their hands in our forthcoming third Welsh General Election. 1 Foreword by the Deputy Presiding Officer (Chair of the House Committee) The year 2005-6 has seen two important events in the development of the National Assembly. The first was the introduction in the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, of the Government of Wales Bill, which has since received Royal Assent.
