The report criticised the UK government's funding of justice in Wales, noting that the cuts to the justice budget by the UK government was "amongst the most severe of all departmental budget cuts".

The report notes how the Welsh Government has used its own money to attempt to "mitigate the damaging effects of these policies".

40% of justice funding is contributed in Wales in addition to Welsh taxpayers money paid to Westminster which is redistributed back to Wales.The report determined that "justice should be determined and delivered in Wales".

The commission was chaired by Baron Thomas of Cwmgiedd, former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.
