| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “How are they qualified?” | 4 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Is this just some prisoner officer going, “Can you read? Can you write? Can you add up?”?” | 17 |
| 10 Mar 2025 | Crime and Policing Bill “I thank the Secretary of State greatly for giving way. I recognise what clauses 45 to 54 say about the mandatory duty in England to report child sexual abuse, and I wonder if I might draw her attention to the fact that there are exceptions dating back to 1603, under canon law, for confessions relating to treason. There…” crime | 111 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “Chair, my sense is that for us to do our job properly we need to understand the situation. From what I heard last week, it was not clear.” | 28 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “I felt there might be a bit of intellectual curiosity by one of you when he makes statements like that to the Committee, and you might have interrogated that statement and checked what he was referring to.” | 37 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “He is His Majesty’s inspector of prisons, isn’t he? He should have access to data.” | 15 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “Perhaps I might ask more about the generality. Could you explain to me what would not be available to His Majesty’s inspector? What would not be available to him?” | 29 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “He should have access to everything he needs to interrogate the veracity of the information he receives, and to be able to make a judgment, which can be utterly critical to the survival of some people’s careers—or not.” | 38 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “I will go back to his evidence; I might ask the Committee Clerks to help us. I can assure you that he was very clear last week that he could not access the data he required to make assessments on particular places. We were talking particularly about drugs and prisons, drones, weaponry and goodness knows what else.” | 57 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “I am Tessa Munt, the Member for Wells and Mendip Hills. I have made my declaration, which can be found on the website.” | 23 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “On that point, can I ask you to deconstruct your acronyms? I am not fully familiar. I know what FM means.” | 21 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “Thank you. Can I move now to the number of cells, effectively, that are out of action and how that has been dealt with? I know in particular we have Dartmoor, which has been shut, and is going to be shut for another two years. Do you have a date for when it is due to be back on? It has three years from last August, whi…” | 75 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “I understand that. I also understand facilities management. There are some other bits—” | 13 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “But we have already heard that they are being turned around in 24 to 48 hours.” | 16 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “That average of 1,700 is fairly consistent across the estate across time, is it?” | 14 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “We have already talked about ISG and how they have come out of the process earlier. I presume that the Cabinet Office is now tendering new services.” | 27 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “That will allow you to carry on with this programme rolling through into the future.” | 15 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “Please.” | 1 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “That presents a problem, doesn’t it? I had HMP Shepton Mallet until 2013, and that was 400 years old—jolly cold, but very effective, in my view, with very few escapes, mainly because the walls are 40 feet high. Having been to Dartmoor as well, there are challenges with that particular building, aren’t there? I presume …” | 69 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 677) “I wondered whether there might have been a bit of intellectual curiosity when he is making a statement like that, because it appears to me to be quite critical of the system. If someone had said that about my department, I would be on the phone to him next morning asking, “What do you need? What do you not have? Why ha…” | 75 |
