Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when she plans that a review of Through the Gate provision for offenders serving 12 months or less will begin; and when she plans to present the findings of that review.

As with any major transition of public services we continually evaluate and review how those changes are operating, to support the achievement of our objectives.

Public protection is our top priority and we will not hesitate to take the necessary action to make sure our vital Transforming Rehabilitation reforms are being delivered to reduce reoffending, cut crime and prevent future victims.
