Answering Minister

the Minister for Women and Equalities

Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Jake Richards)

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for her really important question. I worked with the amazing charity Children Heard and Seen prior to getting this role. I am determined to ensure that we do more to protect the children of prisoners. The Prisons Minister in the other place is already working with the Women’s Justice Board to look at better ways we can treat women prisoners to ensure that they are rehabilitated.
