Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Selous and Lord Hanson of Flint

Tuesday 9th September 2014 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Selous]

We shall be introducing supervision for prisoners who have been sentenced to less than one year, and we believe that our reforms will be highly successful. We are ambitious to end the cycle of reoffending that has blighted our communities for far too long, and we are doing something about it.

[Mr David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)]
