§ Mr. Jonathan EvansSince July 1995; my right hon. Friend has visited one secondary school in the area covered by the former county of Clwyd. In the same period, in addition to a number of constituency visits, my predecessor visited two primary schools, two secondary schools and two colleges of further-higher education. Of these, one primary school and one college are located in the new county of Flintshire. Since my appointment in June 1996, I have yet to make such a visit but intend to do so as soon as possible.
