Female Offender Strategy

Lord Ramsbotham Excerpts

Tuesday 29th September 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I think I answered the noble and learned Lord’s question earlier: no, we have not delivered the five, but we are in the later stages of delivering the first one, as a pilot in Wales, and we have put forward £800,000 to do that.

[Lord Ramsbotham (CB) [V]]

My Lords, last week the Secretary of State for Justice published a sentencing White Paper, in which there was mention of funding, announced in May, for the development of residential centres, the first of which, we have heard, is being built in Wales. Can the Minister please tell the House how many centres the funding provides for and where these are to be built?
