| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Thank you. I could talk to you for hours about libraries.” | 11 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “I am very conscious that the Chair is glaring at me, so I will leave it there, if I may.” | 20 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “On that point, it sounds a bit like a prison postcode lottery, in terms of different prisons offering different types of courses. That is great, but obviously you may have a prisoner who really is drawn to construction—off the top of my head—and one prison offers that and the prison that he happens to go to does not. A…” | 92 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “We have some MPs sitting here thinking about the businesses in their constituencies that might be able to help.” | 19 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Would you like to see links with businesses on the outside as well, taking people through perhaps with apprenticeships, or some sort of link where local businesses might support funding for education in the prison and then jobs on the outside when they come out?” | 45 |

| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “That in itself is an example of best practice when it works, and it sounds like it is a really good scheme or system that you have there generally. Are there any other examples of good practice, and are there any other opportunities that you can see that would help to support prison leavers into the community continuin…” | 92 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “I am interested in continuing education on release. We have all heard from you that there is clear evidence that education within prisons assists with reducing reoffending on the outside. I think it was you, Annick, who talked about the risk of early release under certain schemes in emergency situations like we have se…” | 100 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “We heard in previous sessions that the number of temporary releases reduced, particularly since covid, and never really recovered from that. Would you like to see more use of that for educational purposes?” | 33 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “I am the Member of Parliament for Amber Valley. I am a non-practising solicitor, formerly working at the Crown Prosecution Service, and my registration of interests is as on the website.” | 31 |

| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “That is really interesting because we are talking about NEETs quite a lot at the moment: people not in education, employment or training. It is really interesting that there is no data collected specifically on prison release on that point.” | 40 |
