Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Justin Madders and David Gauke

Tuesday 6th March 2018 Commons Chamber

If prisoners are abiding by the rules and complying with what is required of them, governors should have more flexibility to reward them with additional privileges. I think that that could help to move people in the right direction and change behaviour in a positive way.
