Speeches by Tapp.

“And is it monitored?”

“Final question. You say there are high levels of violence. Are there different categories within the prisons and divisions depending on what they are in for?”

“That is really interesting. We have seen some great examples, like in Brixton where they go into the restaurant to serve. That is really encouraging. It is almost positive reinforcement, isn’t it? There is a whole other debate about vetting and barring. Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

“What do you think, broadly, could be done better to ensure that that happens?”

“Thank you. My next question is about desistance, so that is perfect timing. Could someone explain the principles of that, please, so we can fully understand it? You have touched on it already.”

“Do you have anything women-specific at all, Nicola?”

“This is a problem that we see across many issues, of course. Does anyone else want to come in on that?”

“Anyone else?”

“Some of my questions have been answered along the way, but there is quite a broad question, to give you an opportunity in case bits have been missed, about what you would do to redesign the prison regime if there were no limitations.

“T1. If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.”

“In Deal, Blossom children’s centre has been closed, and the new merged service does not offer the level of service required for one to four-year-olds and is not fit for purpose. What can be done to reopen that much-loved and sorely missed community asset?”

“6. What steps her Department has taken to help keep family hubs open in Kent.”

“It is important to note that this attacker is a terrorist. He has been charged under the Terrorism Act 2000 and the Biological Weapons Act 1974. The man is a terrorist. The attack itself has not been labelled terrorism because of the lack of a clear ideological motive—that is a decision for the police and the CPS. Will…”

“Merry Christmas to you, Mr Speaker. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Solicitor General on taking up her position.
