Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)

I am just going to do my job effectively and efficiently and make some progress. The Wales Office is a small but determined Department working in Whitehall and Cardiff on Wales’s behalf, and we are plugging into every Department in Whitehall, aiming to achieve the best possible attention to the needs of Wales in every Government policy area. I emphasise what I have already said to the hon. Member for Rhondda: my door is always open to any Member of Parliament who wishes to discuss the Government’s programme and how we shall deliver it. I mean that and it applies to Opposition as well as Government Members.
