Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

I just want to take the Minister back to the comments made by the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Durham on the definition of prisoners as workers. I cannot think of any other legislation where a prisoner enjoys the same rights as a worker. There are many rights that workers enjoy in this country, but none of them that I am aware of apply to prisoners. There must be a way

around this, perhaps by a government amendment or some sort of redrafting, that would allow the suggestion made to be incorporated.
