Police and Crime Commissioners
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions he has had with Police and Crime Commissioners about devolving justice powers locally.
- Answer
-
The Secretary of State and junior ministers have had meetings with various Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), including those for North Yorkshire, Sussex, Hertfordshire, Northumbria and Thames Valley, to discuss matters relating to the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Amongst the topics discussed have been their ambitions for greater devolution in the CJS.
Together with the Home Office, Ministry of Justice officials are exploring how PCCs and Mayors with PCC powers can play a greater role in the wider CJS. The strengths that PCCs currently bring to policing could be of real benefit to the wider CJS, and we are keen to explore this further.
