The Panel noted communication with the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture regarding the briefing provided by him and his department on 28th January 2015. It received briefing notes outlining the information provided. The Panel further noted that an additional briefing was to be provided by the Minister on 2nd March 2015. The Minister approved of this being provided in a public forum and it was therefore agreed that this was to form part of the Quarterly Public Hearing. The Panel agreed to provide the officer with any areas of interest to be included in the question plan and noted that the questions needed to be drafted by 23rd February 2015. | MR MR |
Item 10 12.01.15 516/43 | 4. Prison Board of Visitors The Panel reflected on its visit to HM Prison, La Moye, on 2nd February 2015. It agreed that the Prison Governor and his Deputy had both been helpful and open which made the visit very successful and extremely informative. A note of thanks to the Minister and Prison Governor was approved. It was also noted that evidence obtained from the discussion with the Prison Governor suggested that there were matters that appeared not to have been accounted for within S.R.7/2009. More work than had initially been anticipated was required to achieve evidence based and balanced results. The Panel raised the profile of the work to a review and scoping documents were to be prepared for submission to the Chairmen's Committee. | MR SM / MR |
