Silk Commission: Youth justice should be devolved

Control over youth justice and policing should be devolved to Wales and the number of assembly members increased, says an influential report into assembly powers.

The Silk Commission said other parts of the justice system could follow in future, subject to a review.

Larger-scale energy projects should also be the responsibility of the Welsh government, and the number of assembly members increased.

The report was broadly welcomed across the political spectrum but Plaid Cymru said it fell short of "real progress".
