HC Deb 24 June 2003 vol 407 c733W
John Mann

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many official visits were made to coalfield communities by Home Office ministers in 2002. [119264]

Mr. Blunkett

Home Office Ministers undertake a wide programme of visits. In 2002 the ministerial team visited for example Doncaster, Aberdare, Gwent, Stoke-on-Trent and Wakefield.

A number of our Ministers live in or on the edge of such communities.
