Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 June 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.


Offender Management Bill

I also support the new clause in the amendment. We all know the situation facing us; far too many people in prison suffer mental ill health. A high proportion of those in that situation are women. I will waste no more time, but this is something that should be considered very seriously.
