**About the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales**
The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is the face of the UK Government in Wales and the voice of Wales in Westminster.

We work in partnership with other Government Departments and other stakeholders to deliver a stronger Wales within a strong and prosperous United Kingdom.
