The Wales Office is a United Kingdom government department.

 BBC NEWS | Wales | Wales Office in melting pot
The Wales 1997 referendum's razor-thin majority of 50.3% for devolution gave the green light for the transfer of powers from Whitehall.
The Welsh Office itself was set up in 1964 and took powers within Wales from a number of UK Whitehall departments.
Now it is the Wales Office which faces being submerged into another Whitehall department, bringing the loss of 40 years of an independent voice for Wales at UK Cabinet level.
