Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of a reduction in prison chaplaincy service provision on the ability of faith advisers to provide an equitable service to prisoners and their families.

There has been no reduction in prison chaplaincy provision or in the role of faith advisers, who continue to play a vital part in advising chaplains and staff on specific matters of faith or belief and the endorsement of nominated chaplains in HMPPS.
