Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 March 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Education (Student Support) (Amendment) Regulations 2008.


Education (Student Support) (Amendment) Regulations 2008

Well, yes, my Lords—protect taxpayers’ interests. However, the trouble is that the department’s view of taxpayers’ interests is excessively narrow and purely financial. I thought that one of the promises when this Government came into office was joined-up government. Looking after prisoners and their rehabilitation particularly requires joined-up government, care and thought. The noble Baroness has said that 25 prisoners who have been or will be released this year will receive no further maintenance payments.
