Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
I must, on the grounds of language simplicity, draw my hon. Friend's attention to the Welsh version in Government amendment 231. Although my understanding of Welsh is not as wide and deep as I would like it to be, I have not often seen the abbreviation ““DU”” used for ““United Kingdom”” in Welsh. I therefore wonder whether it would be at all familiar to most voters, and whether it would not be better to spell out ““United Kingdom”” in Welsh.
