Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Population.


Prison Population

Is the Minister aware of the contribution to prison overcrowding made by the growing length of time spent in prison by unconvicted remand prisoners? In particular, there has been a big growth in the population of young offenders institutions since 2001. The issue is not more prison places, but more efficient courts.
