Welsh Government and Ministry of Justice ministers have met to discuss progressing the manifesto commitments on youth justice and probation. Welsh Government and Ministry of Justice officials continue to work together to progress this.

The Ministry of Justice is not responsible for policing and therefore has not received a request in respect of the devolution of policing.
