Labour — Shipley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2025

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

Referring to my earlier comments, the data show that one in four prisoners are drug users and have a drug and alcohol problem, and they constitute many of the reoffenders. Given that data, does the right hon. Member not agree with me that we should be rehabilitating and medically treating those addictions, so that they are not caught up in the criminal justice system?
