Scottish Languages Bill: business and regulatory impact assessment

Business and regulatory impact assessment for the Scottish Languages Bill. This is legislation which seeks to advance the status of, and provision for, the Gaelic and Scots languages.


Business

The public consultation was available and accessible to all parties including public bodies and third sector organisations. As the consultation was related to minority language support across the public sector businesses were not explicitly engaged. However, contributions were received from public bodies which represent regional business interests – for example, Highlands and Islands Enterprise. There were also submissions from a private publisher and a community interest company active on behalf of Gaelic.
