Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Adam Price (Plaid Cymru). It was answered on Wednesday, 17 March 2010 on behalf of the Wales Office.
Devolution Settlement
- Question
- Why is it right for an English Minister to sit as judge and jury on the question of bilingual juries? Should this not be a decision made in Wales for Wales by a Welsh Government elected by the Welsh people?
- Answer
-
I understand the passion with which the hon. Gentleman asks the question. The issue that Ministers have had to grapple with is balancing the right and desire of Welsh speakers to have bilingual juries with ensuring at the same time that random selection is maintained. This is part of a continuing dialogue as we move into the future.
