Ex-Offenders: Training and Employment

Lord Beecham Excerpts

Monday 5th November 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Beecham (Lab)]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that local authorities have potentially an important role to play in this matter, and will she undertake to approach the Local Government Association to see whether that can be translated into practice?

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

I believe that local authorities have an important part to play so, yes, I am happy to do that.
