HL Deb 25 March 2002 vol 633 cc10-1WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will restate their policy on the involvement of faith organisations in offender programmes in HM prisons. [HL3334]

Lord Rooker

Offender programmes in prisons, including those involving faith organisations, will be considered on their merits in line with the What Works principles. What Works principles are based upon the best available evidence of what works in reducing re-offending.
