HC Deb 14 February 2000 vol 344 c402W
25. Mr. Blizzard

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will support initiatives by which prisons develop links with schools. [108259]

Mr. Boateng

The new draft National Standards for prisoners under 18-years-old require prisons to develop links with the home education authority.

The Prison Service is happy to co-operate with targeted crime reduction activities where these are developed with the police and others locally.
