Last Wednesday in the House of Commons, John Redwood intervened in the debate on the Corporate Manslaughter Bill to challenge the Secretary of State for Justice over the management of custody of offenders in the country. The extract from Hansard follows:

Mr. Redwood: I, too, believe that the Secretary of State for Justice has moved in the right direction and I thank him for that. He is one of the few Labour Ministers I would trust: I think that his word means something in this House and I am sure that he is well intentioned. He must understand, however, how difficult it is for us to accept his word when it relates to a period after the next general election. It is extremely unlikely that either he or a Labour Government would then be in office
