answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>The answer to Question 120488 by my honourable friend, the member for East Surrey, sought to make clear that detached duty is driven by operational decisions and assessments based on a wide range of information. The discrete data that HMPPS currently collates in relation to detached duty is designed for administrative use only, to assist and support the management of detached duty. In the broadest terms it relates to staffing levels and demand and supply levels of available staff.</p><p> </p><p>The data is drawn from a number of sources and it is necessarily dynamic and often time limited with a number of caveats. The data and a number of other dynamic dependencies are brought together in the context of the need at a particular time when detached duty is being planned and implemented. At present, there is no intention to routinely publish such data relating to detached duty.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 15/01/2018 17:23:47 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

The SDSOL is central to the delivery of the regime in every prison.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, this Government is on target to recruit an additional 2500 Prison Officers by December 2018 to improve safety and offender management in custody.
