Office of the Secretary of State for Wales
The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales appears here as an architectural spot in London. Wheelchair access is recorded for the site.
Now known as the Wales Office, it supports the Secretary of State for Wales within the UK government. Its work connects Wales with Whitehall.
Staff operate from London and Cardiff, linking the office’s work across England and Wales. The office promotes UK government policies in Wales.
It also works with the Welsh Government, other departments, and Welsh stakeholders on economic growth and devolution. Devolution transfers powers to Wales.
The office publishes guidance, policy papers, research, statistics, and annual reports about its responsibilities. These publications explain its work.
A departmental board advises on strategy, resources, risks, and delivery across the office. Committees examine audit, risk, and delivery planning.
The office supports apprenticeships and draws staff from policy, finance, legal, communications, and human resources professions. A Data Protection Officer oversees personal information.
Its public work includes transparency, freedom of information, privacy, and data protection under UK legislation. The office also prepares for elections and government changes.
Together, these roles show how the Wales Office represents Welsh interests in UK-level decisions and policy development.
