Jeremy Hunt, Shadow Culture, visits the National Assembly for Wales
I was very pleased that Jeremy Hunt visited the National Assembly for lunch with John Walter Jones and I.
Jeremy is vitally important to us in Wales, as in a David Cameron Government, it would be Jeremy who would be responsible for broadcasting. I was therefore very keen for him to see the work that we are doing in the National Assembly for Wales.
I was delighted that he is supportive of the work we are doing in seeking to make devolution work in Wales. He is a new breed of Conservative representing a new approach, giving people more power over their everyday lives. This does not just mean support for devolution to Wales but also support for localism. Wales. We even discovered that we have a shared love of Cadair Idris, both having climbed it, and he is regular a visitor to Wales. He also echoed what Cheryl has said about the very generous office accomodation we have here (though Cheryl’s office overlooking the Thames is like a football pitch). The excellent catering in the Member Dining Room and the friendly nature of the staff also got high marks – I must pass that on.
