Financial Position Of The Prison Service
EDM number 603 in 2004-05, proposed by Neil Gerrard on 27/01/2005.
That this House expresses its deep concern at the financial position of the Prison Service; notes that it has deteriorated to a position where prison accommodation is having to be mothballed at the same time as a large number of prison establishments remain overcrowded; further notes that some prisons are considering cutting offender behaviour programmes due to budgetary restraints placed on them; and therefore calls upon the Government to ensure that a satisfactory financial settlement is agreed for the Prison Service.
This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
