Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent (a) discussions and (b) consultations officials in his Department have held with representatives from the Welsh Government on the development of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
The Government routinely engages with officials and members of the Welsh Government where proposed legislation applies to Wales. I have written to the Minister for Social Justice on several occasions, detailing the effect of the Bill in Wales. A full assessment of the impacts of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill can be found here - https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/2839/publications. The Ministry of Justice and the Welsh Government work closely on the delivery of services where there is an overlap of reserved and devolved matters.
