Found: David Gauke, described the first stage as “a period of reflection”.

The Committee agrees with Justice Secretary David Gauke that there is a very strong case for abolishing sentences of six months or less altogether.

Re-offending costs an estimated £15 billion a year; the report recommends that there must be a focus on investing services to reduce this, thus cutting crime and reducing the overall size of the prison population - which is increased through repeat imprisonment.

The report argues that the Government’s focus on addressing safety and decency in prisons has come at the expense of rehabilitation.

The Ministry of Justice needs to refocus its efforts to enable a dual approach to maintain both safety and decency, as well as improve rehabilitation.

Ministers need a clear plan of action to tackle the problem of rising prison populations and the health and safety of prisoners.

The Justice Committee welcomes the Government’s agreement with the issues raised in its Prison Population 2022: planning for the future report, but says ministers have failed to commit to a sufficient plan of action to effectively tackle the crisis faced.

This inquiry into the prison population focuses on:

• Who is in prison and who is expected to be imprisoned over the next 5 years
• The reasons prisoners are there, why they stay there and why they return
• Whether the Ministry of Justice and prison services currently have a credible approach to accommodating the changes anticipated.
  

Evidence was heard from:

• David Gauke MP, Financial Secretary, HM Treasury

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of sentencing guidelines.

Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

The independent Sentencing Council is responsible for the development of sentencing guidelines. The Council regularly evaluates the guidelines to ensure they are operating as intended.

The Government is responsible for sentencing law, and last month we have launched an independent Sentencing Review, chaired by the former Lord Chancellor David Gauke.
