To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what recent discussions he has had with the devolved administrations on youth custodial sentences.
[150261]
We regularly have a range of conversations with the devolved Governments on youth justice matters.
Youth justice is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland. However, the Secretary of State for Justice had an introductory meeting with David Ford, the Northern Ireland Justice Minister on 6 February 2013 in Belfast, at which they discussed a range of matters in relation to justice policy.
My officials are presently having discussions with officials from the Welsh Government on our plans to reform youth custody across England and Wales, as set out in our consultation paper, “Transforming Youth Custody: Putting education at the heart of detention”.

Work on the Scotland Analysis programme is being carried out across Government by policy experts in relevant areas. There is a small team in the Treasury coordinating the programme and within the Scotland Office a dedicated team of two supports the work of the wider office on the programme. The cost of carrying out the work is being funded from existing departmental budgets in the normal way. The Scotland Office has not commissioned work from external consultants for the programme. Scotland Office Ministers engage with a wide variety of organisations and individuals on all aspects of UK Government business, including the Scotland Analysis Programme. Meetings held by Ministers with external organisations are routinely published as part of the department's quarterly transparency returns and can be found on the Gov.uk website:

Treasury Ministers and officials have regular discussions with the Welsh Government on a wide variety of topics. To support the UK Government's assessment of the recommendations in the Silk Commission's first report “Empowerment and
Responsibility: Financial Powers to Strengthen Wales”, an intergovernmental working group has been established comprising officials from the UK and Welsh Governments.
The McKay commission reported on 25 March on how the House of Commons might deal with legislation that affects only part of the UK. This is a very important issue, which is why the Government asked this expert commission to look at it. The report makes a helpful contribution, and we will give it very serious consideration before responding substantively.

I look forward to that response. I would like to know whether the Leader of the House intends to act on those proposals in the next Session of Parliament.

I thank my hon. Friend for that question. I know that she has pursued this matter vigorously in recent months. Clearly, the McKay commission has produced a serious report. It has a menu of options contained within it, and the Government will want to consider the recommendations very carefully before coming to any firm conclusions.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proportion of England outside Greater London is included in (1) the wave 1 city deals programme, and (2) the areas bidding under the wave 2 city deals, by (a) population, and (b) area.[HL6550]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proportion of England outside Greater London is included in (1) the wave 1 city deals programme, and (2) the areas bidding under the wave 2 city deals, by (a) population, and (b) area.[HL6550]
The first wave of city deals were signed in September 2012 and accounted for 32% of the population and 19% of the area of England, excluding Greater London.
Last autumn, the Government invited 14 of the next largest cities by population and another six with the highest population growth between 2001 and 2010 to take part in the second wave of city deals. As the deals have yet to be finalised, it is not yet possible to provide the information requested.

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman giving way so early in the debate. I commend him, as a Front-Bench spokesman, for leading a debate on Northern Ireland. It is important to put on the record that this is the first Front Bencher-led debate on Northern Ireland since the 2010 election.
