Contacting Welsh Government ministers

You can contact Welsh Government ministers by email or post. There is no need to use both methods. Please note that postal responses will take longer. Therefore, we recommend using email for quicker communication. If you provide an email address, we will respond via email only, even if you initially contacted us by post.

We may be unable to provide a response if your correspondence:

• contains offensive language, is aggressive or abusive.
• is illegible or cannot be read/understood.
• is selling or promoting a product.
• is concerning a matter not devolved to the Welsh Government or does not ask any questions of the Welsh Government.
• is only a link. Due to cybersecurity concerns e-mails that only contain links or directions to watch videos will be deleted automatically.
• is copy correspondence (which is usually read, filed and retained only)

Response time

We aim to reply within 17 working days. However, if your correspondence is complex or during periods of high correspondence volumes, it may take longer. For information related to the following please check our guidance pages before contacting us, as they may already address your questions.

• COVID-19
• Curriculum for Wales
• Get help with the cost of living
• Basic income pilot
• Reform of the school year
• 20mph speed limits
• development proposals before applying for planning permission

Single response policy

You will receive a single response from the Welsh Government. Please direct your email to only one minister to ensure a comprehensive and timely reply. Contacting multiple ministers will not result in faster or additional responses.

Ministerial responsibilities

Each minister’s page lists their areas of responsibility. You can find links to these pages under each minister’s heading below. For non-devolved matters, please contact the relevant UK government departments.
