We have had a very interesting antiquarian controversy on this matter. I should have been more impressed by what the hon. Member for Lancaster (Mr. Maclean) said if he proposed that the words "and Lonsdale" should be added to the name of the Lancaster Division. I might then have thought there was something in his contention that Lonsdale ought, even in these days, to be regarded as the Dale of the Lune. Undoubtedly, Lonsdale is a very ancient name, I always understood that the Hundreds went back to pre-feudal times and were parts of the Saxon division of the country for local government purposes. The Lonsdale Hundred, I am informed, was one of the six Hundreds of the county of Lancaster from the earliest times of which there is any record. I should have thought that it would have been desirable, if possible, that this should be retained, although it is true, as I understand it, that the original Hundred of Lonsdale included the proposed Morecambe Division and the greater part of the proposed Lancaster Division as well. I do not know whether we could have compromised by using the names Morecambe and North Lonsdale and Lancaster and South Lonsdale, but the introduction of geographical terms into the name of the Hundred might offend all the antiquarians on both sides, as most compromises generally do in such circumstances.

I think the hon. Member for Lonsdale (Sir I. Fraser) has made out his case for the retention of the name; I propose to advise the Committee to accept this Amendment, and to let the Division be known in future as Morecambe and Lonsdale.
