Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Penal System.


Penal System

He did not say whether he was supporting the Leader of Opposition’s policy, which is to end parole, or his senior Front-Bench spokesman’s policy, which is to ensure that prisoners serve their nominal sentence in full—period.
