The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and I have undertaken a number of visits to regions around the UK in the past 12 months as part of the Department for International Development's strategy of engaging the public in development. Records of official visits are not held on constituency basis as many will have taken in more than one constituency at a time. Since March 1998, the following cities or regions were visited:

  • Bath;
