@maelnallaen The purpose of the Act was not to define "the border between Wales and England", it was to make it irrelevant.

Happy Monmouthshire Day. The flag of Monmouthshire is flying in New Palace Yard today to mark this historic county day.

Did you know that Monmouthshire has been referenced in the Chamber on more than 3000 occasions?

@LKoPBO @MikeDiplockre @TheFactCompiler No, it is Newport (Monmouthshire). "Gwent" was a council area that existed for 22 years from 1974-1996.

@Newport_BID @PrideinthePort How is LGBTQIA+ a single community? What does the '+' stand for? How is 'T' (which denies sex exists) compatible with 'LGB' (which rely on same-sex attraction)? What do rare birth defects ('I') have to do with any of the other letters? Why is 'drag' appropriate for minors?

[House of Commons Speaker @CommonsSpeaker]

The flag of Shropshire will be flown in New Palace Yard to mark Shropshire Day. This year, for the first time the Speaker’s flagpoles will fly the historic county flags on the relevant county days.

The #Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) flag was registered in 2011.

The design originates with arms attributed by mediæval heralds to the 6th century king Inyr.

The pattern has a long association with the county and is widely used and recognised.

@jrdollery @RCAHMWales @RC_Survey @RC_Archive @RC_EnwauLleoedd @natlibscotmaps @BristolUni @latemedievalist @profhelenfulton @MatLampitt @MappingtheMarch Mostly OS 6/25-inch, but some tithe maps where the OS had modified the township boundaries to follow changes in civil parishes made the LGB, e.g. Llangunnock.

@jrdollery @RCAHMWales @RC_Survey @RC_Archive @RC_EnwauLleoedd @natlibscotmaps @BristolUni @latemedievalist @profhelenfulton @MatLampitt @MappingtheMarch Good work! I wonder how it compares to our data (hundreds, ancient parishes and townships) at https://t.co/YXboEFmPPT ?

@transport_wales @BlaenauGwentCBC Have the announcements been fixed yet, or do they still announce “Newport Gwent” (sic)?

[Monmouthshire Assoc @monassociation]

@BruvverEccles @RealCounties That is a debate for another time! We were never really asked our opinion in 1972! 😆 #UtriqueFidelis
