1291W Written Answers 6 JUNE 2013 Written Answers 1292W Jeremy Wright: The essential prerequisite for the commencement of the reforms to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 is to put in place a system for producing basic disclosure certificates, which show unspent convictions, which reflects the new rehabilitation periods for England and Wales. Until we do that there would be no way for an individual to obtain an official statement of their unspent convictions under the new rules. Currently, basic disclosures reflecting the existing rehabilitation periods are only available from Disclosure Scotland and this service is provided to residents of England and Wales as well as Scotland. However, the reforms to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act only revise rehabilitation periods for England and Wales, leaving the position in Scotland unchanged under its legislation. This complicates matters and creates two different rehabilitation regimes within the UK, which means that there are significant business and technical issues to work through. The Government is considering the best option for implementing these important changes with Disclosure Scotland and the Disclosure and Barring Service and aim to have the reforms in place at the earliest possible point. Prisoners Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what steps the National Offender Management Service is taking to improve opportunities for imprisonment for public protection prisoners to progress towards release. [155194] Jeremy Wright: The primary concern of the Government with regard to prisoners serving indeterminate sentences is that of protecting the public. The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 introduced a new sentencing framework for dangerous offenders. The Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection (IPP) was abolished for offenders convicted before 3 December 2012 and was replaced by the new Extended Determinate sentence (EDS) and supporting regime. However, the abolition of the IPP sentence has not been applied retrospectively. Therefore, prisoners serving an IPP sentence will remain in custody after they have completed their tariff until the Parole Board directs their release. In making its decisions, the Parole Board will continue to apply the terms of the existing statutory release test. The population of IPP prisoners has now begun to decrease. This can be explained by the abolition of the sentence which means that no new IPP sentences are given for those convicted on or after 3 December. 2012, and the increasing number of releases. The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) continues to help IPP prisoners to address successfully the risks evident in their offending, so that, where they do, the Parole Board may decide that those offenders may now be effectively managed in the community. No longer do just accredited courses enable offenders to move on, Offender Managers and Offender Supervisors must provide the Parole Board with a comprehensive assessment of the work undertaken to address offenders’ risks—and of offenders’ engagement with that work. Prisons Sadiq Khan: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the direct resource outturn expenditure was for each public sector prison in each financial year from 2009-10 to 2012-13. [154063] Jeremy Wright: As part of the Government’s Transparency Agenda, the Department routinely publishes full details of direct resource outturn expenditure for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales after the end of the financial year. The information for financial year 2009-10 to 2010-11 is published as an Addendum to the NOMS Annual Report and Accounts and available on the Department’s website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prisonperformance-statistics-2009-2011 For financial year 2011-12 figures are published on the following website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prison-andprobation-trusts-performance-statistics-2011-12 Copies of these are also placed in the House library. Figures for outturn expenditure for financial year 2012-13 have not yet been finalised or audited and therefore not yet available. The overall cost per prison place has fallen under this Government from £42,914 in 2007-08 to £37,648 in 2011-12. The Government intends to continue to drive down these costs through its strategy of replacing old, uneconomic prisons with new, cost-effective ones. Sadiq Khan: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many hours on average each prisoner spent per week (a) in a cell and (b) on purposeful activity in (i) each prison, (ii) each category of prison and (iii) the entire prison estate in each of the last five years. [155181] Jeremy Wright: Information on purposeful activity in each prison, category of prison and for the entire estate is published annually in the Prison Performance Digest. The latest data cover the period to 2011-12 and can be found at the following location: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/ attachment_data/file/163299/prison-performance-digest-2011- 12.xls.xls Average time in cell is measured per week day and this information is provided in Tables 1 and 2 as follows by individual prison establishment and by prison category. The figures for time in cell are derived from information collected on the average hours per weekday that prisoners are unlocked. By subtracting the average hours unlocked from the 24 hours in a day it is possible to estimate hours spent locked in cell. It should be noted that time in cell includes hours when prisoners are asleep. Time unlocked includes time where a prisoner is either out of their cell or where the cell door is unlocked allowing them to move freely in and out of the cell. Purposeful activity and time unlocked were two of the NOMS performance indicators of safety and decency in prisons up to 2011-12. The indicators were discontinued at the start of 2012-13. Figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
