And this is before the spending review !!!  Don't forget the civil service was already on a shrinkage programme before this -- the next round to be announced in a couple of weeks will be on top of those losses.

As I have oft said before, it won't be the jobs at the top that go (the ones we don't need and take the lion's share of salaries and pensions!!)

Well, if it's the only passport office in Wales, you can't go anywhere, can you? ;D ;D

It's a cunning plan to keep you where you belong.....Wales ::)

They have snipers at the end of both tunnels for any vehicle displaying any hint of Welshness. ;D
If you get passed them, the passport office staff have instructions to make you wait until the office is closed. ;D
