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, I join the noble Earl in paying tribute to the work done by the DIVERT Trust, set up by the noble Lord, Lord Elton. Secondly, yes, I shall pay attention to the ratios of young people to the officers who look after them in young offender institutions, although I can give no assurance that there will be extra money for that. I also welcome what he said about trying to focus more resources on dealing with young people who are either already in the criminal justice system or are expected to be there.
