Prison sentencing

On whether the Prime Minister was concerned by the rift’ between the Home Secretary and Justice Secretary over sentencing policy, the PMS replied that there was no rift. The Home Secretary had said that the system needed to work better, which was echoed by the Justice Secretary today. The PMS added that we had to look at the Prison estate, just as we had looked at the Court estate and plan for expected prison numbers.

When asked how he would describe relations between the Prime Minister and the Justice Secretary at the moment, the PMS said that they were good.
