uin	119021
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>We want prison to be places of hard work and discipline and we are empowering governors to equip prisoners with the skills that they know they need. We do not stipulate a minimum number of hours of purposeful activity that each prisoner should undertake. The type of activity available is guided by the function and the facilities of each prison. This can include workshops; wing based work (such as cleaning and servery work); offending behaviour programmes and education. There is no single measure of the number of sessions required and attendance could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 20/12/2017 11:47:47 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
