Diolch. One of the oddest things about our devolution arrangement is that almost 40 per cent of the total funding for justice in Wales comes from Wales, despite us having no control in this policy field. To coin a phrase, it's like having the worst of both worlds. As the 'Justice in Wales for the People of Wales' report said,

'Justice should be at the heart of government.'

Can the Counsel General please update this Senedd on discussions with counterparts in Westminster to remedy this anomaly?
