Prisons: Learning Disability

Volume 469: debated on Tuesday 11 December 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what recent discussions have taken place between those responsible for the Dore programme and the Prison Service. (171974)

There have been no discussions that have taken place between the Prison Service and those responsible for the Dore programme as there are no formal links with the provider. The Dore programme no longer runs at HMP Stafford or any other prison. The programme does however continue to be run independently within the community and prisoners are referred to the programme on release.
