Introduction

Part 7

Section 72 - Welsh language standards

263.Section 72 brings the Ombudsman within the Welsh Language Standards regime. It does so by adding the Ombudsman to the list of bodies in Schedule 6 to the Welsh Language Standards (No. 2) Regulations 2016. This will enable the Welsh Language Commissioner to give the Ombudsman a compliance notice requiring the Ombudsman to conform with the standards set out in those Regulations.
