Huw Jones, S4C Chairman says, "It was a pleasure to welcome the Secretary of State to S4C's headquarters in Llanishen today.

"On his first visit since his appointment, this was an opportunity to offer him a first-hand experience of Welsh language broadcasting, as well as to discuss our aspirations and priorities as we plan for the channel's future.

"It is vital that we maintain a close relationship with the Secretary of State and his department within the UK Government, to ensure he and his officials are aware of the work which takes place here and across the creative industries in Wales, and to emphasise their importance to Welsh culture and the economy.
