HC Deb 10 February 1966 vol 724 c138W
Mr. Rowland

asked the Prime Minister if it is official policy to describe the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as, "Britain", wherever possible; and what instructions have been given to Government Departments in this matter.

The Prime Minister

The term "Britain", which I think the House will prefer, is often used, but there are occasions when it is necessary and desirable to use the fuller title. No instructions have been given to Government Departments generally.
