answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>We are working collaboratively with other government departments and interested parties. Through the Rough Sleeping Strategy, the Government is investing up to £6.4m in a pilot to provide improved accommodation support through a new partnership approach between prisons, probation providers and Local Authorities (LA) to plan, secure and sustain accommodation for prisoners on their release.</p><p>The National Probation Service has improved commissioning rates and set minimum levels of funding for their commissioning of TTG services from CRCs for those people leaving non-resettlement prisons. This TTG service includes providing help to prison leavers with finding accommodation on their release.</p><p>The CRCs are currently working to a TTG Exceptional Delivery Model which identifies the minimum requirement for TTG delivery during the COVID-19 period taking into account the necessary restrictions to prison regimes. During the period of COVID-19, we set up seven divisional Homelessness Prevention Teams (HPTs) to deal with the urgent issues presenting in relation to securing accommodation for those being released from prison, initially as part of the End of Custody Temporary Release (ECTR) scheme and latterly in accordance with their Conditional Release Date (CRD). These teams have been very successful in securing improved accommodation outcomes and building new local partnerships with local authorities and housing partners.</p><p>A critical part of the HPTs success has been the exceptional funding scheme agreed with HMT to fund the provision of accommodation to individuals released from prison and at risk of homelessness. This emergency approval was for a limited time and ran from 18th May, closing to new entrants on 31st August as the public health and public protection risks warranted it. However, in light of the recent Government announcements relating to the introduction of the new three-tier COVID alert level system, and the national restrictions in England and Wales HMPPS considered the public health benefits of reinstating the emergency accommodation scheme. It has been agreed to reinstate the scheme until 21st January 2021, subject to regular review.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 19/11/2020 17:50:35 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>ince 18 August we have recorded all confirmed positive incidents of COVID-19 affecting HMCTS buildings centrally. We take swift and robust action for each suspected or positive case. There should be no assumption that a positive case indicates that there has been transmission within a court or tribunal building. 98% of our 341 buildings are open and operational. HMCTS employs around 18,800 staff and there are around 19,400 judicial office holders.</p><p> </p><p>Between the 18 August and 12 November confirmed positive COVID-19 cases reported to HMCTS are as follows:</p><p>Across the courts:</p><p>A) HMCTS staff – 276</p><p>B) Judiciary – 45</p><p>C) Court users – 89</p><p>Across the tribunals:</p><p>A) HMCTS staff – 19</p><p>B) Judiciary – 4</p><p>C) Tribunal users – 1</p><p> </p><p>The following two tables provide a more detailed breakdown of the specific HMCTS locations and numbers.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4"><p><strong>Table 1: shows

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>ince 18 August we have recorded all confirmed positive incidents of COVID-19 affecting HMCTS buildings centrally. We take swift and robust action for each suspected or positive case. There should be no assumption that a positive case indicates that there has been transmission within a court or tribunal building. 98% of our 341 buildings are open and operational. HMCTS employs around 18,800 staff and there are around 19,400 judicial office holders.</p><p> </p><p>Between the 18 August and 12 November confirmed positive COVID-19 cases reported to HMCTS are as follows:</p><p>Across the courts:</p><p>A) HMCTS staff – 276</p><p>B) Judiciary – 45</p><p>C) Court users – 89</p><p>Across the tribunals:</p><p>A) HMCTS staff – 19</p><p>B) Judiciary – 4</p><p>C) Tribunal users – 1</p><p> </p><p>The following two tables provide a more detailed breakdown of the specific HMCTS locations and numbers.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4"><p><strong>Table 1: shows

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>The most recently publicly available data on the remand population covers the period to 30 September 2020 and therefore would not demonstrate any potential effect of the extension to custody time limits.</p><p> </p><p>CTL extensions are being routinely granted amongst those who were remanded before the SI came into force. As such the changes will not necessarily lead to a substantial increase in the remand population. However, the MoJ and HMPPS will continue to assess any anticipated impacts to effectively manage the number of prison places available.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/11/2020 16:54:53 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

As the panel is independent, it remains a matter for the panel to determine how it intends to treat the evidence received in its report. Once the Government receives the panel’s report, the Government will then determine when and how it responds including publication and the underlying evidence in due course.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 19/11/2020 16:41:22 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>We have added vital capacity by opening 16 Nightingale courts to provide 29 extra court rooms, 10 of which are being used for non-custodial jury trials. These additional courtrooms free up room in existing courts to hear criminal cases such as jury trials that need the cells and secure dock facilities that our existing courts can provide.</p><p>We are considering further Nightingale courts, including sites that can potentially provide for custodial cases, however no final decisions have been made. HMCTS will engage with prisoner escort services on any proposed custodial facilities, to ensure that all security and safety requirements are met.</p><p>The HMCTS Criminal Courts Recovery Plan has been published, and can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/court-and-tribunal-recovery-update-in-response-to-coronavirus" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/court-and-tribunal-recovery-update-in-response-to-coronavirus</a>.</p><p>Non-secure work can move from existing Crown Courts and Nightingale Courts, freeing up secure space for criminal trials.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/11/2020 16:52:20 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
