Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many of the 33 recommendations in the 2019 Farmer Review for Women have been implemented.
We are making good progress on the implementation of Lord Farmer’s recommendations, with 25 out of 33 recommendations completed, including the rollout of in-cell telephony and video calling in women’s prisons.
We continue to work across the Ministry of Justice, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and wider government to take forward the report’s recommendations.
