Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Sharples (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 4 July 2006.


Prisoners: Women

Question
My Lords, how affected by the changes are the prisoners’ families?
Answer

My Lords, that is one of the issues that we considered. We looked at distance; we looked at need. The prisons to which the women have been returned are of a good order—the newer prisons have been specifically built—and those issues were very much taken on board.
