5. Repeating the oath in Gaelic
Members of the House must take the oath of allegiance
or make the solemn affirmation before they can sit and vote in
the House. The oath or affirmation must be taken in English, but
since 1982 any Member of the House who wishes to do so has been
allowed to repeat it in Welsh. The Committee recommends that a
Member of the House should be allowed to repeat the oath or affirmation
in Gaelic.
