People will need to speak at least a "courtesy" level of basic Welsh in order to get jobs with the Welsh government in future.
This includes answering the phone bilingually, as well as pronouncing and understanding simple words.
Candidates will be expected to show the skills either on appointment or within six months of recruitment.

Well over 75% in Wales do not speak Welsh. So is this "jobs for the boyos" ?
