Parliament for Wales Campaign

Those in favour of a Welsh parliament paraded in Machynlleth (the place of Owain Glyndŵr's last Senedd) on 1 October 1949.

[2][3] The Campaign for a Welsh parliament (Ymgyrch Senedd i Gymru) was formally launched on 1 July 1950, at a rally in Llandrindod.

This event lead to the creation of a petition of 240,652 names calling for the establishment of a Welsh parliament, which was presented to the House of Commons by Megan Lloyd George in 1956.

In March 1994, the Campaign held a two-day democracy conference in Llandrindod which was attended by 250 people including political parties, churches, local authorities, and trade unions.

[4] In 2013, the campaign recommended increased powers for the then National Assembly for Wales to the Silk II commission.
