Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners completed a sex offender treatment programme in each of the last three years.
The information requested is set out in the table below.
We keep treatment programmes under constant review to reduce reoffending and protect the public. Over the past two years, we have introduced new programmes for sex offenders which draw on the latest international evidence on effective treatment for this cohort of offenders.
