Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gibson of Market Rasen (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Offender Management Bill.

Offender Management Bill

My Lords, I have a great deal of sympathy with the amendment. The noble Baroness, Lady Stern, has encapsulated what I feel about it. I have been approached by the Prison Governors Association, the Prison Reform Trust and the Prison Officers’ Association on this, and they all support the amendment. Very often, when the Prison Officers’ Association is mentioned one thinks only of state prisons, but it also has members in private prisons. I do not want to repeat what others have said, but I support the amendment.
