The Senedd, a bilingual democratically elected body officially known as the Welsh Parliament in English and Senedd Cymru in Welsh, is the devolved, unicameral legislature of Wales, establishing laws for Wales, agreeing certain taxes and scrutinising the Welsh Government. From its creation in May 1999 until May 2020, the Senedd was known as the National Assembly for Wales (Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru). (See, for example: https://senedd.wales/)
Note
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is a government department responsible for environmental protection, food production and standards, agriculture, fisheries and rural communities in the United Kingdom. The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments each have devolved responsibilities for these matters in their respective nations. (Wikipedia (paraphrased)). See, for example: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs
Note
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) was a United Kingdom government department created by the Board of Agriculture Act 1889 (at that time called the Board of Agriculture, then, from 1903, the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, and from 1919 the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries). It attained its final name in 1955 with the addition of responsibilities for the British food industry to the existing responsibilities for agriculture and the fishing industry, a name that lasted until the Ministry was dissolved in 2002, at which point its responsibilities had been merged into the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). (Wikipedia (paraphrased))
Note
Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland (also known as FoE EWNI) is one of seventy-five national groups around the world which make up the Friends of the Earth network of environmental organisations. Friends of the Earth in England was founded in 1971, two years after the group was first founded in San Francisco in 1969.
