Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps her Department plans to take in response to the HM Inspectorate of Probation and HM Inspectorate of Prisons report on an Inspection of Through the Gate Resettlement Services for Short-Term Prisoners, published in October 2016; and if she will make a statement.

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.
