Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Criminal Justice.
Criminal Justice
The public do indeed need to be protected from those who commit serious, violent and sexual offences, but those are not the type of offences that tend to be committed by women. The Home Secretary touched on that when he referred to vulnerable women in prison. Can he give us an assurance that he is not planning for more women to go to prison, but is planning for a sentencing system under which, wherever appropriate, women serve their sentences as close as possible to home and preferably in the company of their children?
