Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total annual budget for prisoner rehabilitation services; and how much of this is allocated to (1) family services, (2) employment training, (3) education and (4) other itemised rehabilitation activities.

• Family Services - £12 million

• Employment Training - £25 million

• Education including Prisoner Education contracts - £191 million

• Other itemised rehabilitation activities - £132 million
