Now, I'm an easy-going sort of bloke, but I thought I would remind you of the history in terms of princes of Wales. In 1282, the last Welsh Prince of Wales was killed. Edward I glorified in the passing of Wales's royal family and proclaimed his newborn son as the new Prince of Wales from the ramparts of Caernarfon castle and, in an act of sophistry, reassured the people of Wales that this new prince of Wales could not speak a word of English either, like themselves. Llywelyn's baby daughter, Gwenllian, was not killed but exiled to a convent in rural Lincolnshire for the 55 years of her little life, isolated and bereft until her death in 1337. 

So, the firstborn son and heir to the English crown has been anointed as Prince of Wales ever since, and on our knees since then we have just gone along with it, some with more enthusiasm than others, which brings me to the Secretary of State for Wales. Now, I know people are saying we should be discussing more important things, but that's entirely the point. The Secretary of State for Wales should be doing more important things. I haven't detected a clamour to rename the second Severn crossing at all. I have detected lots of clamour for having a tidal lagoon in Swansea bay, rail electrification, not having a superprison in Baglan—lots of public clamour—but Prince of Wales bridge? Public clamour came there none. What we expect from a Secretary of State for Wales, while we still have one, is Cabinet assistance to bring about these truly transformative ideas and plans into action. 

The First Minister here offered no objection to the Secretary of State's plan to name the bridge—so much for standing up for Wales, or have we redefined standing up for Wales now as lying down?
