WELSH language campaigners today welcomed the news of using native names for new Senedd constituencies.

The Commission for Democracy and Boundaries Cymru said that only four of the 16 seats for the next election in 2026 will have bilingual names.

Welsh constituencies are being expanded under a new voting system to elect 36 more politicians than at present.
