"I commend the Prisons Minister for following up his predecessor’s strong support for Lord Farmer’s review. Will the Prisons Minister meet me to discuss the welfare of prisoner’ children, especially at the point of sentencing? There are 200,000 such children a year, and they often fall through the care system completely."
Rory Stewart MP, Minister of State for Prisons said:
"Absolutely. One of the most terrifying statistics is the very high number of prisoners’ children who go on to offend themselves. I should be delighted to meet my hon. Friend to discuss not just the issue of families, but the issue of children in particular."
