Thank you very much for that response, First Minister. It’s been noted, as you’ve noted, over the past few years that there are a number of examples of historic place names on old houses, halls and farms. These historic Welsh names have all come under threat and very often some are changed to English names. Do you as a Government agree that there is potential to develop legislation where a local planning authority’s permission will be required before changing historic Welsh place names?
