Ministry of Justice: Welsh Language
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to her Department's consultation on reforming Local Justice Areas, what assessment has she made of the adequacy of her Department's adherence to the statutory duty to provide a Welsh language impact assessment.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
The Ministry of Justice produced a Welsh language impact assessment during consultation (published on 16 April 2025, shortly after the consultation’s launch), and has committed to publishing a further assessment alongside the finalised proposals, once these are determined.
The existing assessment is available at section 10 of the Equalities Statement: LJA Consultation Equalities Statement.
