HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) cannot identify English and Welsh prisoners. Someone with an address, for example in London, may consider themselves to be Welsh, while someone with an address in Wales may not. UK nationals have a nationality of British. Therefore the data shown are not necessarily representative of those who identify as English or Welsh. The results are sorted by origin address (home address on reception into custody) and not nationality. English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are not captured on our database as separate nationalities.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS is committed to ensuring, where practicable and appropriate, that prisoners are accommodated as close as possible to their resettlement communities and families. Whilst this is a priority, it is not always possible due to a variety of factors including wider population pressures, or where prisoners have specific sentence planning needs which can only be met at certain establishments.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds grouped question UIN 203086 203087 203088 question first answered 20/10/2023 13:58:47 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds attachment 1 file name 2023-10-20 PQ 203085 203086 203087 203088 Tables.xlsx title Table
