Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Penal System.
Penal System
The Secretary of State has talked a lot about the state of prisons and overcrowding. Does he agree that one easy win might be to remove prison cells from the extraordinary smoking provisions that his Government introduced in the Health Act 2006? Those provisions appeared to be endorsed by his Cabinet colleagues as recently as 26 June, when the then Secretary of State for Health made the incredible assertion that a prison cell is akin to a prisoner’s own home.
