Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, visited GCHQ on Friday 28th October. GCHQ's Director, Sir David Pepper, and his team gave Mr Straw confidential briefings on a range of issues. Sir David said 'We were delighted that the Foreign Secretary was able to visit GCHQ again, and meet some more of the people responsible for the work we do.' GCHQ falls under the responsibility of Mr Straw as the Minister responsible for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. The visit was very much business as usual, providing GCHQ's Director with the opportunity to update the Foreign Secretary on important aspects of our work. Mr Straw's visit co-incided with GCHQ's second annual lunch arranged for local civic figures. The event, held at the main Benhall building, is aimed at building and developing ties between GCHQ and the local community. In opening the event Sir David Pepper outlined the extraordinary challenges facing GCHQ. He said 'this is a wonderful opportunity to say thank you and express our appreciation of the positive co-operation we continue to enjoy with our partners in Gloucestershire.' 28 October 2005 |
