Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Friday, 11 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill [HL].


Rehabilitation of Offenders (Amendment) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I hate to challenge the Minister in full speech, but at a meeting two nights ago with the Minister with responsibility for prisons, Maria Eagle, she told us that while the number of women in prison had gone down because of the longer sentences, the number of women received into prison during the year had gone up dramatically by more than 900. Therefore, the figure he gave is slightly disingenuous.
