Under this government, the most serious offenders are more likely to go to prison, and for longer, helping protect the public and keep communities safe.</p><p> </p><p>Our message is simple – if you commit a serious offence, you should expect to go to prison. We will not reduce the prison population just to save money.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 16:53:37 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 189755 Response Table.xlsx title Table
