§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the(a)date, (b)location and (c)purpose was of visits by Ministers in his Department to Wales since 1997; and when he next intends to visit Wales. [62079]
§ Mr. Blunkett[holding answer 17 June 2002]:Information in respect of United Kingdom travel is not held centrally and a full answer could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, I have visited Wales (North and South) on official business three times this year already including a keynote address at the Justices' Clerks Society Annual Conference in Cardiff. I plan to visit South Wales later this year to speak at a Crime and Drug Related conference.
All travel is undertaken fully in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Ministerial Code and Travel by Ministers, copies of which are available in the Libraries.
