The law does not define an offence specifically of anti-Semitic hate crime, so the requested information is not held. Figures for whether Anti-Semitism was a motivation of other offences that have been prosecuted is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/11/2018 15:30:59 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

tabling member constituency	East Londonderry
tabling member printed	Mr Gregory Campbell
uin	188007
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>We are taking decisive steps to tackle the use of drones as a supply route for criminals to bring contraband, including drugs and mobile phones, into prisons. Last year we launched Operation Trenton, a specialist team of Prison Service and Police investigators, to work together to intercept drones and track down the criminals behind them.</p><p>It is not possible to identify from centrally held data which convictions secured under the Prison Act 1952 relate specifically to drones. However, we believe that at least 45 people have been convicted of illicit drone activity, with those sentenced serving a total of more than 140 years in prison. On 26 October, following the largest investigation of its kind, an organised criminal gang of 15 were collectively sentenced to nearly 40 years in prison for using drones to drop drugs into a number of prisons. The ringleader, Lee Anslow, received a sentence of 10 years, the highest single sentence for drone-related activity to date.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/11/2018 17:37:47 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

Population statistics can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly</a>. HM Prison and Probation workforce statistics (which contains staffing figures in public sector prisons but not in privately managed prisons) are published quarterly.

The population data was based on the 12 month end prison populations apart form for 2008 and 2009. Due to technical problems relating to the supply of data for statistical purposes, month end population data was not available for the period from July 2009 to February 2010, so data for the last Friday of the month has been used instead (except for December 2009, where the 18 December was used). In relation to the workforce data the figures include Band 3-4 / Prison Officer (incl specialists), Band 4 / Supervising Officer and Band 5 / Custodial Managers working in public sector prisons. It should be noted that as with all HR databases, extracts are taken at a fixed point in time to ensure consistency of reporting. However, the database itself is dynamic and where updates to the database are made late, subsequent to the taking of the extract, these updates will not be reflected in figures produced by the extract. For this reason, HR data are unlikely to be precisely accurate.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Prison population annual average</p></td><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Average number of band 3-5 officers</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>82,572</p></td><td><p>2008/09</p></td><td><p>25,233</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>83,559</p></td><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>25,915</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>84,725</p></td><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>25,359</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>85,951</p></td><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>24,286</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>86,634</p></td><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>22,102</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>84,249</p></td><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>19,719</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>85,307</p></td><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>17,984</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>85,626</p></td><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>18,355</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>85,348</p></td><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>18,104</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>85,632</p></td><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>19,581</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Prison officer numbers are at their highest in five years, which is vital to ensuring prisons are safe, secure and decent.
