Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellamy (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 October 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prison Capacity.


Prison Capacity

My Lords, I would need notice of that question. I will write to the noble and learned Baroness with respect to the place of residential places in the criminal justice system. Certainly, the focus on dealing with alcohol and, indeed, drugs is very much on the Government’s mind at the moment. One development in GPS tagging is that you can use it for alcohol detection as well—that is a further arrow in the quiver, as it were, to deal with this problem—but the noble and learned Baroness’s question is entirely apposite, as always.
