Thank you, Llywydd. I'm very pleased that we've found the time to hold this important debate on the Commission on Justice in Wales's report. It's an opportunity for us to discuss the ambitions that we have for the justice system in Wales and also to ensure better outcomes for the people of Wales.

As I have said in this Chamber previously, the commission's inquiry is the most comprehensive ever undertaken of the justice system in Wales. It looked at the current status of all parts of our justice system. As the commission's report states, there are some areas of good practice in the justice system in Wales at the moment. It works effectively in partnership, with the commitment of people involved with youth justice services; it's had a positive impact on reducing the number of children held in custody. On an operational level, policing often means interaction between police and institutions providing education, social care, health, housing and other services that are devolved. Blueprints for youth justice and for offences by women are other examples of effective partnership working in order to provide effective justice services in Wales. We do this despite, and not because of, the complex situation that currently exists in Wales in terms of policy and funding for justice under the current devolution settlement.
