Speaking in the House of Lords on 31 March 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [HL]

Contribution

I turn to the amendment in the names of that dynamic duo, the noble Baronesses, Lady Fox and Lady Bennett of Manor Castle. It is an important issue. We know that when you speak to charities that help current offenders and ex-offenders, they say that one of the issues behind reoffending is the support you get when you leave prison, not just for mental health issues but generally. You are left with not very much money. Where do you find housing? How do you reintegrate back into the community? Other noble Lords have talked about that shock already.
