Responding to today’s news of the death of former Secretary of State for Wales Lord Walker of Worcester (pictured), Welsh Conservative Assembly leader Nick Bourne AM said:
“I am extremely saddened by this news. I have known Peter Walker for many years and sought his advice on many occasions.
“Peter Walker was a dedicated public servant and had a distinguished career serving at the highest levels of government. Only recently he was campaigning in Wales during the General Election.
“Peter Walker’s time as Welsh Secretary will be remembered for his dynamism, activism, and hands-on approach, and for his efforts to fight for Wales in Cabinet, and at home at abroad.”
