Baroness Nicol

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress the Social Exclusion Unit has made on its project on reducing re-offending by ex-prisoners. [HL4974]

Lord Rooker

The Social Exclusion Unit has published its report on reducing re-offending by ex-prisoners today.

The report sets out the enormous cost, both in financial and human terms of re-offending by ex-prisoners and makes recommendations for reducing the risk of re-offending in the future.

Copies of the report have been placed in the Libraries of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
