Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Lympne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Population.


Prison Population

As the crisis was both foreseeable and foreseen, can the Minister confirm that each of the past four Home Secretaries to whom he has just paid tribute asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the money required to provide the additional prison places that were necessary, but that the Chancellor of the Exchequer turned a deaf ear to those requests and refused to make the money available?
