We recommend that the UK Government continues to prioritise bringing stability to the prisons and probation service, but that this be balanced with meeting its manifesto commitment to explore and consider the devolution of probation and youth justice to the Welsh Government. The UK Government should include in its response to this report a checklist of measures and steps that need to be taken—with accompanying timelines—in order for a final decision to be reached as to whether to devolve these aspects of the justice system. (Recommendation, Paragraph 26)
