Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Penal System.


Penal System

I want to illustrate my hon. Friend’s earlier point, by reminding him that the inspector of prisons has twice reported that Acklington prison in my constituency is unable to fulfil its designated training role because of overcrowding. She has run out of words to describe the situation, which she regards as unsatisfactory.
