| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “Diolch yn fawr.” | 3 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “My final question is for you, Ms Russell; I think a number of earlier answers have touched on or alluded to it.

How successful or effective has it been in diverting women from the criminal justice system and in reducing reoffendi…” | 58 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “That is a really important observation. In layman’s terms, you are saying that it is a lack of knowledge or discretion of how to apply among the magistracy that is leading to that.” | 33 |

| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “I am conscious of time, so we are going to do a quickfire round with one-word answers only—otherwise, hellfire comes coursing down. This is to each and every one of you. Is the MOJ policy sufficiently tailored to the needs of Welsh service users? That is a simple yes or no.” | 51 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “That is a long one-word answer, but not too bad.” | 10 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “Setting aside deaths—I am just trying to get a picture of Wales versus England in the rest of the prison estate—could one of you say a word on the data on prisoner-on-prisoner attacks, whether that is ABH or GBH?

| 3 Dec 2025 | Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 702) “I want to turn to intergovernmental relations. In all these inquiries, we try to identify something good and then try to identify things where we can nudge for a bit of improvement. Could you both give one example of where the UK and Welsh Governments work particularly well together and identify one thing that is okay …” | 60 |
