To ask His Majesty's Government what further consideration they have given since July 2024 to the report of the Commission on Justice in Wales, published in 2019, and in particular those recommendations directed at His Majesty's Government.

Since July, the Government has focused on addressing the significant challenges facing the justice system.
The Commission on Justice in Wales, which was established by the Welsh Government, made many recommendations, principal among them the recommendation that justice should be devolved to Wales. Whilst that is not something we agree with, we are committed to working with the Welsh Government to ensure that we deliver justice in a way that best serves the people of Wales. We have, for example, been working with the Welsh Government on data collection and disaggregation, which was an area of interest for the Commission.
