Specific legal provisions for the use of indigenous or foreign languages in the culture industries exist in Wales, where the grant-aided Welsh Fourth Channel Authority was established by the Broadcasting Act 1980 to provide a Welsh language television service. The 2003 Communications Act also introduced amendments to the Welsh Authority’s public service remit, but retained the provision of Welsh language broadcasting as its core. A White Paper published by the Welsh Government in 2017 put forward proposals for a Welsh Language Bill (see chapter 2.5.4).
