(Translated)

The First Minister has said that he wants a different justice system for Wales, in an answer given over the past few weeks, but the Government policy isn't clear on new prisons here in Wales. The First Minister tends to be more willing to accept that than the new Minister, Alun Davies. What discussions has the commission had in the context of the fact that, if there were to be a new prison here in Wales, and if there were to be more demand for more prisoners from outwith Wales to go to that prison rather than prisoners from Wales itself, how could we create a uniquely and inherently Welsh policy in the context of the fact that people from various different areas of Britain would be coming to prisons in Wales?
