Mr James Griffiths
, Llanelly
asked the Minister of Transport what improvements, have been made in the public motor omnibus services in Wales following the representations recently made to him?
Captain Euan Wallace
, Hornsey
The hon. Member will not expect me to give a detailed account of the many alterations and improvements in services which have recently been effected in Wales; but the Regional Transport Commissioner has assured me that he has taken steps to remedy as far as possible all legitimate grievances. I should be glad to ascertain for the hon. Member what action has been taken in any specific case.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
