Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons (Carter Review).


Prisons (Carter Review)

Yes. If one looks at the map, it is patent that, while north-west England—my area—has many prisons, north Wales does not, although there are five prisons in south Wales. The Minister of State, Ministry of Justice, my right hon. Friend the Member for Delyn (Mr. Hanson), the Minister with responsibility for prisons, represents a north Wales constituency, and we are considering sites in north Wales. If we can find a suitable site, we shall use it, I hope with the full support of constituency Members.
