the Member for South West Bedfordshire, representing the Church Commissioners
Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Sir Nicholas Dakin)
Ministry of Justice officials regularly meet representatives of the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland, as part of the “Five Nations Forum”, to discuss prison capacity. This allows best practice to be shared and emerging issues to be discussed. The Prisons Minister in the other place knows the Northern Ireland prisons system well, and will be going there later this year to compare notes.
