Labour — Southport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2025

Debate

Employment: Ex-offenders

Contribution

We got there eventually! Employment is crucial to reducing reoffending, and data shows that offenders who are employed within six weeks of leaving prison have a reoffending rate around half of those out of work. Will the Minister outline how the regional employment councils, including in Southport and the Liverpool city region at large, will help to drive down reoffending?
