HC Deb 14 February 1994 vol 237 cc627-8W
14. Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to improve the efficiency of his Department.

Mr. Redwood

The Welsh Office is already an efficient organisation successfully administering a very wide range of central Government functions throughout Wales. I am, nevertheless, continually looking for ways in which to improve its efficiency including, for example, through market testing and close controls on its running costs.
