Hey, I didn’t mention Wales either - and some would say that is a more serious omission.

Neither need to be stated, as both are part of Great Britain which refers to the entire island. It is true that until 1746, laws made in Westminster did not automatically apply in either, but they have always been part of Great Britain.
