Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:34 pm on 4 July 2017.
First Minister, the Ministry of Justice have indicated that they’ll be holding a two-day event in Port Talbot in order to garner people’s views on the new prison prior to submitting a formal planning application. While this is welcome, we need a more complete public consultation on the proposals. What discussions has your Government had with the MOJ about a more detailed public consultation, and what role will the Welsh Government play in seeking residents’ views on the new prison?
