The Commission on Justice in Wales

The Commission on Justice in Wales was chaired by Lord John Thomas of Cwmgiedd who, as former Lord Chief Justice, was once the most senior judge in England and Wales.

Over nearly two years, it took dozens of submissions, held consultation events and in October 2019 produced its report with 78 different recommendations.

It concluded Wales should have full control of its justice system with powers to run policing, prisons and appoint its own judges.

The Federation's Welsh Affairs Select Committee (WASC) has taken the policy position that policing could be devolved to Wales, but the question of whether it should be devolved is one for politicians.
