Welsh in Education Strategic Plan: reconsidered decision
Cabinet agreed to note the progress against the plan's objectives and Welsh Government's feedback on the 2023/24 annual report.

The motion carried, with six votes for and none against or abstaining.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
