Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, on what date he last visited a (a) secure training centre, (b) young offender institution and (c) secure children's home.

When Covid-19 related restrictions have allowed, the Secretary of State has visited a number of our prisons, courts, and probation premises, and continues to do so in addition to his departmental meetings, constituency work, and time in Parliament. He last visited a Young Offender Institution on Thursday 19 August 2021. The Secretary of State for Justice has not visited a Secure Training Centre or a Secure Children’s Home but has been closely engaged in issues relating to them and regularly meets with the Chief Executive of HMPPS to discuss performance across the adult and youth estates.
