Proceeding contribution from David TC Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

: I must remind the hon. Member for Caernarfon (Hywel Williams) that Owain Glyndwr, of whom I am a distant descendant, did not control the whole of Wales and was quite unpopular in large parts of Monmouthshire, which he ravaged. In fact, Newport was so badly damaged that there was a great debate about whether it should even be rebuilt after Owain Glyndwr had finished his depredations.
