I think there are examples—. One of the things I'm keen to do is to learn from the examples. If we end up with a national police force, there are some examples of really good practice from Police Scotland. They integrate their serious crime with other…

Yes. I think there are two different issues there. There's a force structures issue, and whether—. Let me be clear on my view on this. There are, principally, two options placed in front of Lord Hogan-Howe. One is to maintain the current force structures, and…

I thank the Member for the question because cross-border policing is an issue that is raised time and time again in the context of policing debates. I am absolutely clear that the structures we develop, going forward, should be based on effective co-operation…

So, that's the point there. But if I may offer some reassurance to the Member, around youth justice, there's been a considerable amount of work looking at how that would work and how we could bring the youth offending teams for Wales into a more coherent…

Let's take the police one. The implementation model there is straightforward in the sense that, as a part of the police reforms, we would seek the devolution on the basis that is happening in England.

Well, the devolution of justice and policing is a multifaceted issue, problem, whichever way you'd like to frame it, and there are different elements to it that need to be considered at least in some isolation from each other. Turning specifically, for…

I think there are two things there. One is, as I've outlined, that my desire, as I've stated in the Senedd and here, and to opposition spokespeople, is to have a broad base of commissioners. So, in terms of representing the wide range of views that there are…

What we're looking to do is to make an announcement on the co-chairs within the next weeks and, therefore, that will be during the autumn term. I have privately briefed the spokespeople from parties as to where we've got to on the co-chairs. What I'd…

Ie, yr hyn dwi wedi’i weld, yn fy misoedd cyntaf i fel Gweinidog, yw bod enghreifftiau o arfer da iawn, lle mae Llywodraeth Prydain yn cydweithio’n gynnar ac y briodol gyda swyddogion ein Llywodraeth ninnau, ac mae’r ddeddfwriaeth sy’n cael ei datblygu o…

Ond, beth ddywedaf i yw, o ran y Llywodraeth, rŷn ni’n gweld budd mawr yn y cydweithio a’r cyd-ddealltwriaeth, ac o ddysgu o’n gilydd. Dwi wedi cael sgyrsiau gyda Gweinidogion o Lywodraeth Prydain, lle dwi’n dysgu o’r hyn maen nhw’n ei wneud, a dwi’n…

Y peth cyntaf i ddweud yw bod yna batrwm o gydweithio rhynglywodraethol yn bodoli trwy'r pwyllgor inter-ministerial a'r gwaith rŷn ni'n ei wneud ar draws pedwar Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol. Dwi wedi cyfarfod gyda Gweinidogion o Lywodraeth Prydain, o…

Yes, I think that's the challenge. The downside to being effective, doing it and getting on with the job, is the potential lack of scrutiny. It comes back again to some of the points made here. You certainly shouldn't be rushing to do something that might not…
