Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition alongside petition P-06-1446 Abolish the name 'Wales' and make 'CYMRU' the only name for our country.

It was noted that they presented diametrically opposite views on the use of the name ‘Wales’ and ‘Cymru’.

 

Members noted the correspondence from the Llywydd regarding the use of ‘Senedd’ and that Wales was a bilingual country with two official languages. In light of this the Committee thanked the petitioner and decided to close the petition.

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition alongside petition P-06-1446 Abolish the name 'Wales' and make 'CYMRU' the only name for our country 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.
