The Wales Office (Welsh: Swyddfa Cymru) is a United Kingdom government department. It is a replacement for the old Welsh Office, which had extensive responsibility for governing Wales prior to Welsh devolution in 1999. Its current incarnation is significantly less powerful: it is primarily responsible for carrying out the few functions remaining with the Secretary of State for Wales that have not been transferred already to National Assembly for Wales; and for securing funds for Wales as part of the annual budgetary settlement.
