§ Lords Amendment: No. 73, in page 239, line 39, column 3, leave out "Portmadoc" and insert "Porthmadog".
§ The Minister of State, Welsh Office (Mr. David Gibson-Watt)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This is a very simple Amendment, which is necessary in view of the recently-approved change of name of the urban district of Portmadoc. It is now to be spelt "Porthmadog".
§ Mr. George Thomas (Cardiff, West)This may appear a small change, but it indicates a change of mood amongst our people home in Wales. The House will be quite right to agree with their lordships that if a local community wishes to have a Welsh form of description, of their community, or more Welsh form of description, they are entitled to have it. We very gladly support the Government and their lordships in this matter.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
