Mark Drakeford suggests abolishing the UK government's Wales Office
Former Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford has argued that the time has come to consider scrapping the UK government's Wales Office, pointing out that most of its original powers were transferred to Cardiff Bay back in 1999. While Drakeford believes the department is no longer necessary, current Labour politicians like MP Ruth Jones have dismissed the proposal as foolish, emphasizing the importance of having a dedicated Welsh voice at the UK cabinet table.
