what is in this new strategy? as you are saying. — what is in this new strategy? as you are saying. a — what is in this new strategy? as you are saying. a big _ what is in this new strategy? as you are saying, a big announcement - what is in this new strategy? as you are saying, a big announcement by i are saying, a big announcement by shabana mahmood tomorrow, the headline is that the labour government will spend £2.3 billion over the next two years on prison bills. and the target is opening up of 14,000 bills. and the target is opening up of 1a,000 new places by 2031. bills. and the target is opening up of “1,000 new places by 2031. that will mainly break down as 61100 places in four new prisons, and 61100 places in four new prisons, and 61100 places in four new prisons, and 61100 places in new blocks on current sites. let's look at the screens now. to understand this, we really need to see this as part of a twin track strategy. there is shabana mahmood, the first bit is the capacity strategy, the new places. the second part of the sentencing review, being carried out by the former conservative justice secretary david gauke. as we can see, fewer prison sentences for less serious offences, but ensuring that
10:33 pm
there are spaces for the most serious offenders to serve sentences in prison. the bottom line is, fewer people will be going to prison. 0n people will be going to prison. on such a hot political potato, you can imagine there's a lot of politics around this. what is thejustice secretary saying? tomorrow she will say the last government pretended they could send people away for longer and longer, without building the prisons they promised. this strategy reveals that their prison building plans were years delayed and nearly 5 billion over budget. they left our prisons in crisis, on the edge of collapse, and from the conservatives, who knew counterpart robertjenrick, saying labour could be maximising court capacity and expert icing the deportation of foreign criminals, but they are rushing to release criminals. it is a little wonder that career criminals pop champagne and declare they are labour voters for life. lets pick that up with matthew torbitt and nick hardwick. it sounds like big numbers, £2.3 billion,
