I wonder whether the Counsel General would accept this contention that regarding the devolution of justice and distinct legal jurisdiction as an entirely discrete competence is actually a false distinction, and that it is better seen as part of a continuum where this place makes laws, and, in order for them to be properly implemented and enforced, it’s a question of a continuum between the passing of the law and the enforcement of the law. So, the absence of devolution of justice and a distinct legal jurisdiction in fact operates as a constraint on the devolution of other powers. Would he accept that contention?
