Proceeding contribution from Neil Gerrard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Estate.


Prison Estate

I welcome my right hon. Friend’s proposal to look at what can be done to ensure that people who do not need to be in prison do not go there. Will he also examine what is happening now to people on parole who are recalled to prison? It appears that some are being recalled for the most trivial breaches of their parole conditions, and that no discretion is being given to probation officers to determine whether the problem is a serious or repeated breach.
