Question to the Wales Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what approaches they have had from the Welsh Government concerning the transfer of responsibility to Senedd Cymru of (1) the police service in Wales, (2) the prison service in Wales, and (3) the court service and administration of justice in Wales.

Whilst the Welsh Government has called for the devolution of justice and policing to Wales, it has not made a formal request for the powers to be transferred.

There has been no persuasive case made for how devolution would improve the operation of these services. There are therefore no plans to devolve them.
