Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Selous and Ian C. Lucas

Tuesday 9th September 2014 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Selous]

I absolutely recognise what the Chair of the Justice Committee says. As I have just said, we are increasing staff numbers at the prison: 13 more recruits are due to start next week, 12 have already joined and there are 22 reserve staff available. The prison will also have a further inspection next week, so we are keeping these matters closely under review. As I have said, more staff are joining.

[Ian Lucas (Wrexham) (Lab)]
