<p>Thank you for that very important supplementary. Of course, justice is not yet devolved to Wales, and prisoner and offender management are the responsibility of the UK Government. But I do meet regularly with Lord Timpson, the Minister of State for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending, and Ian Barrow, the chief executive of HMPPS in Wales. In fact,&nbsp;we visited Parc prison together with the Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing, who obviously is very engaged because of her responsibility for substance misuse. In April, the HM Inspectorate of Prisons report on Parc noted that the new leadership has brought significant changes and said it had a comprehensive improvement plan, including all of the inspector's recommendations, and we remain engaged with HMPPS to monitor progress.</p>

<p>Yes, may I just put on record my concerns around the letter from Lord Timpson—I think it's page 91 in your pack—in terms of what the offer is to us for data for the Welsh prison system.&nbsp;There are no timescales in his proposals apart from on one, which is 2026, so I'd like us to consider a response that asks for specific timescales to his offer of data. Diolch yn fawr iawn.</p>
