Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)
Let us have the Conservative Benches and then the Cross Benches. If noble Lords are very quick, we will get both in.
Baroness Sugg (Con)
My Lords, can the Minister update the House on any improvements since the introduction in January 2024 of the no-fly zones around certain prisons? Have they been a success, and how can we boost their effectiveness?
Lord Timpson (Lab)
The no-fly zones have been a great success and have been an important part of the work we are doing, but there is still further work we need to do. I reiterate that the demand is just as big a problem as the supply.
