	Welsh Referendum
		While Scotland (albeit to the accompaniment of rioting) voluntarily entered the union - a new country with a new name - Wales, centuries earlier, had been "forever and henceforth annexed into this Kingdom of England".
		It is rather to put the present proposals in context - particularly by comparing them to those of 1979 and by examining the political forces likely to decide the referendum result.
		While Scotland maintained its own institutions, Wales in any constitutional sense ceased to exist in the centuries following the death of the last prince in 1282.

	Scottish Referendums
		In Wales the vote was against devolution, by 80% to 20%.
		A combined Scotland and Wales Bill was introduced in November 1976.
		Question: Do you want the provisions of the Wales Act 1978 to be put into effect?

	United Kingdom
		Edward I (1272–1307) continued the conquest of Ireland, reduced Wales to subjection, and made some gains in Scotland.
		The United Kingdom, consisting of Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland) and Northern Ireland, is twice the size of New York State.
		He produced constitutional reform that partially decentralized the UK, leading to the formation of separate Parliaments in Wales and Scotland by 1999.

		Policy context The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) Order 1979, as amended, is the primary legislation that gives DFP the authority to make and revise Regulations that set the standards for building work, as well as provide the framework for their implementation, enforcement and revision.
		In Northern Ireland, it is DFP policy to maintain parity with England and Wales and, therefore, Part R will eventually be updated to reflect BS 8300.
		The labelling of these Parts is not consistent across the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland — for example, Part R, which deals with disability access issues in Northern Ireland, is Part M in England and Wales and the Republic of Ireland.

	Wales referendum, 1997 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	National Assembly for Wales: Subject Index: The Richard Commission
		The people of Wales in 1979 had indicated by 4 to 1 that they did not want devolution, and it was the same model of executive devolution which Labour was planning to introduce in the 1990s.
		PROFESSOR HAZELL: On whether a referendum was needed in the light of the 4 to 1 defeat of the devolution proposals in 1979, at that time in the 1990s I argued that a new referendum was required, for reasons both of principle and of sheer political strategy or tactics.
		As you all know, the received wisdom on the 1997 referendum is that it is interpreted generally as suggesting that the people of Wales were very doubtful about devolution.

		Labour has become a unique party in that it is the largest party in Scotland, Wales and England.
		Labour may well form governments in Wales and Scotland.
		Scottish nationalists should not be at Westminster; should take no oaths to the British Crown; and should be ashamed of their silence at the continued use of Scottish soldiers doing Imperial England's dirty work in the Six Counties.

	Prince of Wales Trophy Online Research :: Information about Prince of Wales Trophy
		With the Modern Era expansion in the 1967-68 NHL season and the creation of the Western Division, the Wales Trophy was awarded to the team that finished in first place in the Eastern Division during the regular season.
		When the league formed two conferences in the 1974-75 NHL season, the award was transferred to the team that finished with the best regular-season record in the Wales Conference.
		It was first presented to the regular season champion of the American Division of the NHL, but was repurposed to being the trophy for the overall regular season champion in the 1938-39 NHL season when the NHL reverted to a single division.

		Whilst the Government has declared hundreds of thousands of hectares of new national parks—an initiative we all welcome and applaud—we are still a long way off meeting the nationally agreed criteria for the establishment of a comprehensive, adequate and representative reserve system for forests in New South Wales.
		The museum celebrates the settlement of New Italy, which was established by Henry Parkes, and the school was established in 1883 by means of a document signed by my great grandfather—who did not sign with capital As or capital Ps—and a local resident.

		In the European elections, voters in England, Scotland and Wales use a closed list system under which votes are cast for a party and the victorious candidates come from a pre-ordered party list.
		For parliamentary elections, the UK is divided up into 659 constituencies - 18 in Northern Ireland, 40 in Wales, 72 in Scotland and 529 in England.
		The pending period varies depending on the type of election but in a general election it is from when the Queen announces the intention to dissolve parliament or, if an announcement is not made, then from when parliament is actually dissolved.

	Wales and Devolution
		Wales turned towards the issue of devolution during the era of Thatcher and Major – the Tory years of 1979 to 1997.
		Wales, along with Scotland and Northern Ireland, was promised a devolved assembly by the Labour Party in the lead up to the 1997 election.
		Devolution promised to be a key issue in Wales but the turnout at the post-election referendum in 1997 for whether Wales should have a devolved assembly seemed to indicate that enthusiasm for devolution was lukewarm.

		In 1979 he received a degree in Welsh Language and Literature from the University College of Aberystwyth, Mid-Wales.
		Robin Huw Bowen comes from a Welsh-speaking family based in Anglesey in the North of Wales.
		Robin's style reminisces the carefree, Welsh gypsy harpists of the last century, who clung to the tradition of the triple harp even as the respectable London soiree crowd were trading theirs for fashionable new pedal harps.

	Cranebrook, New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The quarries were formed by a quarrying conglomerate in 1979.
		Cranebrook probably takes its name from a pioneer farmer, James McCarthy, who was granted 100 acres (400,000 m²) of land in 1804 and named it "Crane Brook farm", probably after the Cranes frequenting numerous lagoons in the area.
		Cranebrook's geography is hilly and so many residents on the western side enjoy views across the Nepean River to the Blue Mountains.

	The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Wales @ HighBeam Research
		The strong hold of evangelical Protestantism on Wales was to make the establishment of the Church of England there the dominant question in Welsh politics in the later 19th cent.; one of the last acts of Parliament that applied to Wales alone was the disestablishment of the church in 1914.
		The distress of rural Wales was dramatically evidenced in the Rebecca Riots of 1843, when poor farmers destroyed toll booths, and in the emigration of large numbers of Welshmen, many to the United States.
		In 1979, Welsh voters decisively defeated a British proposal for limited home rule, but in 1997 they narrowly passed a referendum to establish a 60-member assembly.

		Their great achievement was the Party’s breakthrough at the 1979 General Election, where the Party fielded over 50 candidates, qualified for a TV election broadcast, and stimulated a huge influx of new members.
		Both these parties are now, of course, sharing power in coalition governments, and as a result are having a powerful influence on, for example, the future the nuclear industry (or hopefully lack of a future!).
		Everyone in the party has their own individual story to tell, but our collective story: of success, of frustration, of passion and of an enduring commitment to the vision of a green society, can be read in Derek Wall’s Weaving a Bower Against Endless Night...
