Most recent appearances
- Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Employment of Ex-offenders (21 May 2013)
“Dealing with alcohol misuse and dependency is a major problem for many ex-offenders who need to find work. What discussions is the Minister having with the Department of Health, and indeed with those who are likely to provide probation services in the future, about improving alcohol treatment in prisons and after prisoners have been released?”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Topical Questions (21 May 2013)
“I welcome the extension of supervision to short-term prisoners, but I am concerned that Ministers continue to refuse to give an estimated additional cost for that provision, claiming that it depends on competition. Ministers must have made an estimate for the fixed fee that will be paid up front before any bonus for success. Will the Minister say what the fixed fee is likely to cost?”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Arck LLP (14 May 2013)
“What assessment he has made of the obligations owed by Yorkshire bank to investors in Arck LLP.”
