It’s not about protecting one place name vis-à-vis another form of it. If it’s historic and on that list, they’re all protected, regardless of language—Trellech, Treleck, whatever. I’m reminded there’s a village also in Monmouthshire, ‘point of Scotland’ and people say, ‘Well, Duw, where do we get “point of Scotland” from?’ From the old Welsh ‘pysgotlyn’, a pool full of fish, originally. But both names would be protected under my Bill. Diolch yn fawr.
