Chris et al:

Regarding the debate about the British Council representation of Scots, what
about writing to the Cross Party Group for Scots? It might make more of an
impact if an actual body complained, rather than just individuals. The fact
that Scots is recognised as a language by the UK government should certainly
be emphasised, in contradiction to their obvious implication that this view
is perpetrated by a small number of cranks.

John M. Tait.
