answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text Within the Ministry of Justice, only the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) have offices within the Stoke-On-Trent postal address. There is one Juvenile Centre with a Stoke-On-Trent postal address, HMYOI Werrington. No posts have been abolished or relocated since 2010. There are currently no plans to abolish or relocate any posts by 2020. There are three National Probation Service (NPS) locations with a Stoke-on-Trent postal address. The NPS has only existed from 1 June 2014. Since that date there are no records of any posts being abolished or any relocation activity in the NPS Midlands Division which includes Stoke-on-Trent. There is an organisational change programme within the National Probation Service, that is ongoing and that will impact all area of NPS activity. It is too early to define the impact on a particular geographical location. HMCTS are unable to disaggregate information collected for the North Staffordshire area, so the following includes staff based within Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Since 2010, there has been a net reduction of 8 posts. There are currently no plans to further change the staffing in the North Staffordshire area. answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 14/01/2016 14:33:38 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) has in place a comprehensive range of security measures and searching techniques to detect items of contraband including alcohol, to prevent smuggling into prisons. In addition we use specially trained dogs to detect illicit alcohol.</p><br /><p>The table below gives the number of alcohol finds in prisons in England and Wales in the timeframe requested</p><p>Table 1: Finds of alcohol in prisons in England and Wales, 2005 to 2014</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of Incidents</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2005</p></td><td><p>172</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>306</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>330</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>340</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>468</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>386</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>573</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>803</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>875</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>1090</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>(1) Figures were produced by searching for the words “alcohol”, “hooch” and “fermenting liquid”.</p><p>(2) Includes NOMS operated Immigration Removal Centres</p><p>(3) Data in whole years only and is not yet available for 2015</p><br /><p>Changes were introduced to the Incident Report System in September 2015 that improved the recording of alcohol finds. Prior to these changes, alcohol related finds are recorded as a &quot;miscellaneous&quot; incident and requires a text search of the data. This method of extracting data requires searching for specific words and may not always identify all the related incidents. It can also identify non-related incidents which contain the words in the search. In this case I have searched for the words &quot;alcohol&quot;, &quot;hooch&quot; and &quot;fermenting liquid&quot; in the incident text.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>All figures in this answer have been drawn from live administrative data systems which may be amended at any time.Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system.
