All school children in Wales will be offered a bilingual book to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The UK Government has spent almost £12m on the plan.
As education is devolved to Wales, the Welsh Government has had the final say on the book being given to children in Wales. The Welsh Government has today confirmed it will be offered to children in school, but schools will have to opt-in to receive it.
The book was brought up in the Commons during Welsh questions by Aberconwy Conservative MP Robin Millar. He said: "The UK Government has funded a book for every school child in the UK commemorating the Platinum Jubilee. A bilingual version has been printed for school children in Wales. What steps is the minister taking to ensure children in Wales, in Aberconwy, even Ynys Mon, will also receive a copy of that book?"
