Silk moots sweeping devo changes
Powers over policing, railways and teachers' pay could all be devolved to the Welsh government

Powers over policing, railways and teachers' pay could all be devolved to the Welsh government in a new deal based on Scottish devolution.

The all-party Silk Commission proposed that police and youth justice powers be handed over immediately, while other justice powers are transferred over the next 10 years.

It would be part of a move to a "reserved powers" model of devolution, currently used in Scotland, which would see Welsh ministers decide on all matters only affecting Wales.
