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


Penal System

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way when he is pressed for time. I could not agree more with the emphasis that he is placing on such activities. Does he share my complete bemusement as to why, given the importance of that agenda, the Government have dropped purposeful activity of a modest 24 hours a week in prison as a key performance indicator, a target that was met only once in eight years?
