Offender Rehabilitation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Offender Rehabilitation Bill.

I hope that I can help the right hon. Gentleman. Two sets of statistics have been published. The comparators are between the absolutely numerical reduction at Peterborough and the reduction among a comparable group at a prison elsewhere in the country. The 20% figure, which is the highest, refers to the number of further crimes committed by the cohort, while the lower figures show the overall reduction in the absolute rate of reoffending—the binary rate. I should

be happy to write to the right hon. Gentleman and set out the figures in detail, but I can tell him now that the experience of mentoring at Peterborough has been very encouraging indeed.
