Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if her Department's review of Transforming Rehabilitation addresses the effect of that policy on women; and when she plans to publish the findings of that review.

We are carrying out a comprehensive review of our probation reforms to improve outcomes for offenders and communities. Public protection is our top priority and we will not hesitate to take the necessary action to make sure our vital reforms are being delivered to reduce reoffending, cut crime and prevent future victims. As part of this review we will consider the services provided to female offenders by Community Rehabilitation Companies and the National Probation System.
