Mrs Gillan
I am not aware that there are different rates of sick leave in my Department from any other, but I will undertake to my hon. Friend to have a look at the records in my Department and return to the point in writing to him.
Mr Wayne David (Caerphilly) (Lab)
Given that the Secretary of State’s Department does not stand up for Wales, what does it do?
Mrs Gillan
My Department stands up for Wales, unlike the previous Secretary of State, who stood back from Wales, allowed it to become the poorest nation in the UK and then compared it to Rwanda.
