I am distressed to hear that from my hon. Friend—I have sat as a judge in Hereford and it is a most pleasant court.

The hon. Lady raises a hugely important point. I assure her that the mental health of offenders and prisoners is my priority.

I am grateful to the hon. Lady, who I know has written to me.

A novel point, Mr Speaker.

My right hon. Friend asks a very important question. I have to accept the limitations on the period of sentencing.

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for raising that point.

My right hon. Friend raises a distressing case.

My hon. Friend makes a very important point about the role of the armed forces.

I listened to hon. Lady’s case with care and concern. I think it merits a further conversation, and I will have that with her.

I am afraid that I will take no lectures from a Labour party that took a knife to civil legal aid back in the 1990s.
