Baroness Hayman (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2025

Debate

Education in Prisons

Contribution

I am grateful to the noble Lord. Does the Minister accept that the damage done in individual institutions by cuts in education and skills training is compounded by the effect of the churn going on in the prison population at the moment, meaning that many prisoners are in individual institutions for short periods of time before they are moved to another institution? That is very damaging to the effect, which the Minister was talking about, of having the encouragement to change.
