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.
