National Assembly for Wales

Delete all and replace with:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Believes that prisons should be places of reform and rehabilitation.

2. Supports the principle of voting rights for prisoners at Welsh elections, but awaits the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee’s report.

Add as new points after point 1 and renumber accordingly:

Welcomes the focus by the Ministry of Justice on rehabilitative services, community sentences and reducing reoffending.

Notes that the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee have an ongoing Inquiry into voting rights for prisoners.
 

In point 2, delete ‘prisoners should not be given the right to vote in’ and replace with ‘existing prisoner voting rights should not be extended in future’.
