Proceeding contribution from Lord Jones (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 November 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2008.


Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2008

Following my noble friend’s shrewdly judged introductory remarks on an order referring to convictions and concerning the processes of rehabilitation of offenders—that is, young people, men and women—in England and Wales, when will the justice department announce the location of new prisons? As to government plans for the north-west and Wales, where will the new prison or prisons be located? Will they be Titans or not, and how many will there be? How soon will Her Majesty’s Government’s decisions be announced—perhaps as part of an imminent capital building programme, perhaps next Monday? Can my noble friend deal with the queries I have raised?
