Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the use of nutritional supplements has been trialled in Young Offenders Institutions in England and Wales to reduce violence levels in the last 10 years.

Safety in prisons and young offender institutions is fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system and addressing safety concerns is at the heart of our reform plans. We are committed to reforming youth custody so that it is safer for both young people and staff and better equipped to help young people turn their lives around.
