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.
