May I ask the Leader of the House for an early debate on work in prisons. She will know that one of the best ways in which to reduce reoffending when people leave prison is to find them a job. One of the saddest things to have happened over the past few weeks is the closing down of the barbed project at HMP Coldingley. That project provided real and well paid work for a number of prisoners, but it has been closed down as a consequence of the Government’s introduction of the core day. That is utterly regrettable; may we have a debate about it?
