(Translated) What legal advice has the Counsel General given to the Welsh Government on steps it could take to tackle rural crime?

The Welsh Government is committed to tackling rural crime and last year appointed the first all-Wales wildlife and rural crime co-ordinator to underline this commitment. The Welsh Government works very closely with the co-ordinator and with police services in Wales on all aspects of rural crime.

(Translated) What discussions has the Counsel General had with the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Justice about the continuation of the Support Through Court scheme at Cardiff Justice Centre?

I raised our concerns about the closure of Cardiff’s Support Through Court office with the new Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, Lord Bellamy, in June and highlighted that the closure of services that support litigants in person would undermine access to justice in Wales.

(Translated) What discussions has the Counsel General had with other UK law officers regarding the implications for Wales of potential changes to the application of the Northern Ireland protocol?

The Foreign Secretary, the Rt Hon Liz Truss MP, introduced the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill in the House of Commons on 13 June, without any prior meaningful engagement by the UK Government with the Welsh Government. We are giving the Bill due consideration to understand the implications for Wales.
