Proceeding contribution from Oliver Letwin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adults with Learning Disabilities.
Adults with Learning Disabilities
My intuition is exactly the same as my hon. Friend's, but I am pretty sure that the Minister will not be able to answer his question today, although I would be delighted to be proved wrong about that. I have been inquiring about this for many years now, and nobody seems to know the answer. If one talks to people who can give good anecdotal estimates, such as magistrates and prison governors, one finds what anyone who spends time wandering around our prisons or youth offender institutions will find—that an enormously high proportion of people in our prisons fall into one or other of the categories that I have described.
