Letter: Britain's secret government exposed

YOUR editorial on the rule by quango made bitter reading. In Wales, the Conservative Party is in the minority, yet quangos, which increasingly take the role of elected local government, are full of Conservative appointees.

Wales is suffering from a dictatorship by a party which has failed to win power on a local level or on a national Welsh level. Instead of democracy we have quango government run by David Hunt, the Secretary of State for Wales.

Mr Hunt, who does not even represent a Welsh seat, is in effect Governor-General. He is as much a reflection of the people of Wales as Chris Patten is of the people of Hong Kong.
