Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Warinder Juss and Lindsay Hoyle

Tuesday 22nd April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. This is the time for topical questions, and we have other Members to get in. Tensions are running high, so let us calm everyone down with a question from Warinder Juss.

[Warinder Juss (Wolverhampton West) (Lab)]

T6. On a recent visit to Featherstone Prison near Wolverhampton, I came across a number of recalled prisoners who were there for minor technical breaches of their probation—sometimes for up to a year. Can the Secretary of State please outline what data is collected on the reasons for prison recalls and how that data then informs policy decisions aimed at reducing unnecessary returns to custody?
