Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons: Population.


Prisons: Population

My Lords, one of the problems with a full prison estate is that people have to be moved around a lot. That makes it difficult for them to persist with particular courses. I completely accept what the noble Lord said about the importance of education in prisons. The steps that I have indicated today will reduce the pressure to some extent. That will reduce, to some extent, the churn around the system, which will help to some extent, but I am not claiming that it will be perfect.
