tabling member printed	Liz Saville Roberts
uin	266741
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2019 answer text <p>We do not hold the data requested as it is not our policy to issue tents to service users. Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) and the National Probation Service (NPS) are required to facilitate access to housing and support services for the offenders that they are managing. This includes working together with local partners to help offenders find accommodation and supporting them to maintain their accommodation as part of a package of support tailored to meet their individual needs. We are investing an additional £22m per annum over the remaining life of the CRC contracts to ensure that CRCs deliver an enhanced Through The Gate service to offenders leaving prison. Alongside this investment we have introduced a new Through the Gate specification which will ensure that CRCs complete specific tasks, including to help every prisoner to secure and maintain settled accommodation. As part of the Government initiative to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping across England, we are investing up to £6.4 million over two years in a pilot scheme to help ex-offenders into accommodation from three prisons, namely Bristol, Pentonville and Leeds. The pilots will focus on male prisoners who have served shorter sentences, who have been identified as having a risk of homelessness. Contracts have now been awarded in the three areas and, following a mobilisation period, we expect services to commence in Summer of this year. This is a concrete step in our commitment to tackling rough sleeping.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 27/06/2019 15:58:50 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

However, currently the Ministry of Justice does not routinely capture data about what happens to children when their parents are held in custody.</p><p> </p><p>Lord Farmer’s Review “The Importance of Strengthening Female Offenders' Family and other</p><p>Relationships to Prevent Reoffending and Reduce Intergenerational Crime” was published on 18 June<em>. </em>We welcome Lord Farmer’s report and are committed to moving forward with reforms on this important subject. We will look closely at the report’s findings and recommendations to see how we can best give effect to them. This includes recommendation 5 on improving data collected on the dependants of female offenders.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 28/06/2019 09:59:39 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
