Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Fiona Mactaggart (Labour). It was answered by Phillip Lee (Conservative) on Tuesday, 25 April 2017 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Women’s Centres

Question

What assessment she has made of the effectiveness of women's centres in reducing reoffending; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

The data on women’s centres is quite mixed. I am a strong advocate of the benefits of women’s centres in the community. On reoffending rates, the figures are somewhat mixed across the county. We continue to look at the situation closely to find out exactly what works about those women’s centres to reduce reoffending.
