Languages

The Scottish Parliament is committed to being accessible to all people who are resident in Scotland and encouraging their participation in its work.

The Scottish Parliament website contains information in a range of languages to assist both Scottish residents and visitors, and these languages are reviewed on a regular basis.

The use of languages in the Scottish Parliament is determined by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) and is set out in its Language Policy (165KB pdf).
