Madam President, I will be very brief. After Mr Joan i Marí
had spoken just now, the President said that Catalan was not an official language of the institutions. I do not believe that is correct. Catalan is in fact an official language, but not, it is true, a working language.
That being the case, I crave indulgence for the honourable Member who spoke a few sentences in Catalan, since I myself spoke in Latin in this very House during the debate in which it was decided that Catalan would be an official language; Latin is neither an official language nor a working language but my words did nevertheless appear in Latin in the Minutes.
