Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the report, A Process Evaluation of the Enhanced Through the Gate Specification, published on 1 October 2020, what steps he plans to take to learn further lessons from the roll-out of the Enhanced Through The Gate specification, following the cancellation of Phase 2 of the evaluation as a result of covid-19 restrictions.

The resettlement design team has retained the best practice learnt from the Enhanced Through The Gate evaluation, and is driving further improvements such as better outcomes for those serving short prison sentences.
