It is a bit like trying to extract teeth to find out why the Labour Government in London oppose what the Labour Government in Cardiff want. Transparency is of particular importance as, in about four months’ time, Wales goes to the polls, and one ought to know where the Government stand on such an important issue as criminal justice. Hence, the decision to put this debate into transparency was completely the right place to put it, because what has never been made transparent before is now transparent: what the objections of Her Majesty’s Government in London, as opposed to the Government in Cardiff, are to dealing with the criminal justice system.
