Government to set up Scots advisory group

The Scottish Government

Further to the government conference held on the Scots language, at the University of Stirling on 9 February 2009, and the publication of those proceedings, the Scottish Government is now seeking to establish a working group to take advice and make suggestions how best to move forward from the Scots language audit of 2008. Accordingly, members of the Scots language community are invited to put forward the names of suitable individuals who they think would take part in the Scots working group which would meet under the auspices of the Minister for Culture, External Affairs and the Constitution. Suggestions for names should be sent to Michael Napier, Policy Officer, at the Scottish Government, either by way of e-mail:

Michael.Napier@Scotland.gsi.gov.uk

or by post to Michael Napier, Promotion of Scotland and Tourism Divison: Gaelic and Scots Unit, The Scottish Government, Area 2-J North, Victoria Quay, Edinburgh EH6 6QQ. Telephone 0131 244 4942.

Suggestions should be sent no later than the deadline of 3 August 2009.
