2 P-06-1446 Abolish the name 'Wales' and make 'CYMRU' the only name for our country

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition alongside petition P-06-1451 Keep the name 'Wales' and not waste any more taxpayers money on pointless exercises.

 

It was noted that this petition received over 10,000 signatures and could be recommended for debate. Previously Members had questioned whether such a debate would add anything new to the discussion. Both the Welsh Government response and the letter from the Llywydd suggested it was unlikely that either institution would change from its current approach.

 

Following further discussion, Members agreed that a debate would not be a good use of the Senedd’s time, and closed the petition and thanked the petitioner.

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition alongside petition P-06-1451 Keep the name 'Wales' and not waste any more taxpayers money on pointless exercises and agreed to write to the Llywydd to ask what consideration had been given to using the mono-lingual name ‘Senedd’ for the Welsh Parliament.

 

Members agreed to await a response from the Llywydd before deciding whether to request a debate on the subject.
