I am not searching for sausages; frankly they are as difficult to find here as weapons of mass destruction.

The Minister said that he would write to me on the specific matter of urgency vis-à-vis consultation with the National Assembly for Wales. It is an important subject for the Assembly and I should be obliged to receive a response in due course.
