Dr. Thomas
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has any plans to establish a permanent Welsh office base in Brussels.
Mr. David Hunt
No. The Welsh Office is already in close and sustained contact with the European Commission and with the office of the United Kingdom permanent representation in Brussels, which represents the interest of all Government Departments. The present arrangements work well and are the most cost-effective means of representing Welsh interests in the Community.
