Administration of Justice: Wales

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Welsh Government has made a formal request for the devolution of (a) justice, (b) youth justice, (c) probation and (d) policing.

Answer

Welsh Government and Ministry of Justice ministers have met to discuss progressing the manifesto commitments on youth justice and probation. Welsh Government and Ministry of Justice officials continue to work together to progress this.

The Ministry of Justice is not responsible for policing and therefore has not received a request in respect of the devolution of policing.
