It is a real privilege to be appointed to the Office of the
Secretary of State for Wales and to serve in Prime Minister Keir
Starmer's first Cabinet.
Wales has a crucial role to play in powering the UK's national
renewal, contributing to our energy security and the industries
that will deliver a prosperous future.
My absolute priority is to deliver for Wales and work with the
Welsh Government to stabilise the economy, drive investment and
create jobs.
As a result of our plans, people across Wales will share in that
prosperity and we will tackle deprivation and poverty
together.

Under my leadership the Wales Office will once again be a
steadfast advocate for Wales from within the UK Government,
ensuring that Wales's needs are prioritised, and its voice
heard.
I am determined to reset the relationship between the UK and
Welsh Government. We will co-operate and work together to deliver
better results for people in Wales.
I am honoured to serve Wales and its people and bring about
the change that our new government has promised.
Ms Stevens has started a full programme of meetings,
briefings, and visits to begin delivering the new
government's agenda for Wales.
