'First Class' Halted By Welsh Secretary
The new Welsh Secretary of State has said she will no longer use first class rail travel.
Cheryl Gillan revealed the change as she met Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones, Head of the Welsh Assembly Government, at his Cardiff Bay office.
The Cardiff-born minister and her officials will also travel 2nd class.
The Conservative minister is on her first visit to the Welsh Capital since taking the Cabinet post.
Ms Gillan noted earlier in the week that her first priorities for Wales would be the economy and a referendum on more legislative powers for the Welsh Assembly.
The MP for Chesham and Amersham in Buckinghamshire is the first female holder of the post.
