The article mentioned by jonwallace higher up in this thread explains that
the volume of Wales has been defined as including all topsoil, land and equipment, up to, but not beyond, one metre below the surface.

This means everything below ground (coal) is English, while the Welsh can retain their cherished national symbol, the leek.
Best wishes,
Hans
