Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sam Gyimah and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi

Tuesday 31st October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Gyimah]

The former Prisons Minister makes an excellent point about good practice at Parc Prison. As he is aware, there is good practice dotted around the prison estate. We have Storybook Dads and Mums in some prisons and Our Voice in other prisons. We want to see good practice spread across the entire estate. To enable us to do that, we are devolving budgets to prison governors, and we will also hold them to account when we pilot new family and significant relationship performance measures as of next year.
