It’s not just the Scots who dream of independence, the Welsh do too

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Roger Smith, solicitor and NLJ columnist, draws our attention to ‘a paper quietly produced, without much national fanfare, by the Welsh government and entitled Delivering Justice for Wales.

Smith highlights some aspects of the paper that clearly distinguish it from any that could be produced by the current UK administration. Where can it all be leading? The Senedd is under the control of Labour not Plaid Cymru. Nevertheless, Smith writes: ‘This document shows that Wales is set on developing elements of its own legal system. That is integral to the formation of a separate state.’
