Claim:
1. A communication arrangement for communication between a downhole line and a wellhead body, the wellhead body having a wellhead body through-hole, a gate valve member for selectively closing the wellhead body through-hole, and a wellhead body port, and the communication arrangement comprising: a lower valve seat configured to engage the gate valve member so as to permit movement of the gate valve member relative thereto, the lower valve seat defining a lower valve seat through-hole and a lower valve seat fluid passage, the lower valve seat fluid passage being distinct from the lower valve seat through-hole; and a communication member defining a communication member through-hole and a communication member fluid passage, wherein the communication member is attached to the downhole line, the lower valve seat is configured to co-operate with the wellhead body, and the communication member is configured to be run into the wellhead body through-hole and into the lower valve seat through-hole until the communication member fluid passage is aligned in fluid flow communication with the lower valve seat fluid passage so as to define a continuous fluid passage which extends from the wellhead body port to the downhole line.
