The Government has responded as follows:
The Crime and Disorder (Formulation and Implementation of Strategy) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2011
As indicated in the report, these amending Regulations have been prepared in English only. It is practice to prepare statutory instruments in English only when instruments are joint and are to be laid in Parliament. For that reason the Regulations to be amended, ie those made in 2007, were also prepared in English only.
