LONDON. 7th March.
In the House of Commons Mr. Ormsby Gore, in answer to a question, said that the decision to fly the Eed Dragon of Wales flag on one tower of Carvarvon. Castle and the Union Jack on another was made in 1922 after consultation with Mr. Lloyd George, then Constable of the castle and Prime Minister. This decision accorded with the advice of the Carnarvon Town Council, ' which before effecting the change consulted with Mr. Lloyd George and the Mayor of Carnarvon. He recognised the strong Welsh sense of nationhood, but said he would like to correct the misapprehension that the first Prince of Wales was borii in the castle, as its foundations had not then been laid. He was aware that Welsh students last week tore down the Union Jack where it was flown with the Eed Dragon ia accordance with custom. He was sure public opinion in Wales arid elsewhere would condemn the act. The Government had decided to ignore the re* grettable incident.
