Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Home Affairs and Justice Debate on the Address.


Home Affairs and Justice

The hon. Gentleman should listen to the Leader of the Opposition, who has talked about the importance of doubling up. Much of the doubling up has been made possible because we have introduced internal sanitation in all cells. As for the hon. Gentleman's claim that some of those prison places were planned by the previous Administration, it was ever thus. The difference is that we paid for those plans and have continued to expand the number of prison places, and we will continue to do so.
