	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>Tackling the sexual exploitation of children remains a top priority for the CPS. Specialist CPS lawyers work closely with police investigators to build strong cases, resulting in many successful prosecutions of complex grooming cases for example in Rochdale, Rotherham, Oxford and Newcastle.</p><p> </p><p>The CPS does not maintain a central record of defendants’ occupations, nor of the specific circumstances under which a person has been charged with an offence. This information could only be obtained by an examination of CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost. The CPS collects data to assist the management of its prosecution functions. The CPS does not collect data that constitutes official statistics as defined in the Statistics and Registration Act 2007.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 20/01/2020 15:52:29 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>The accommodation status for all offenders released from custody, including those under National Probation Service (NPS), Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) supervision, and offenders on community sentences, has been published since July 2018. <ins class="ministerial">The latest publication can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-performance-quarterly-update-to-march-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/community-performance-quarterly-update-to-march-2019</a>. </ins>The relevant table of data from this publication is attached for reference.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital that everyone leaving prison has somewhere safe and secure to live, as a platform to access the services and support needed to make a fresh start. We have invested an additional £22 million per annum over the remaining life of the Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) contracts to deliver an enhanced “Through-the-Gate” resettlement service to offenders leaving prison, to prepare them for release. Through the Government’s Rough Sleeping Strategy, we are also investing up to £6.4m in a pilot scheme to support individuals released from three prisons: Bristol, Leeds and Pentonville. Services have now commenced in all three areas, with the first individuals now being supported into accommodation following release. Subject to evaluation, we will use the lessons from the pilot to inform future provision of accommodation for all ex-offenders. Additionally, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service is working in collaboration with other Government Departments and interested parties to help to meet the accommodation needs for prisoners on their release.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 20/01/2020 17:32:30 question first ministerially corrected 05/03/2020 12:11:44 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie attachment 1 file name Table for HL111.docx title Table for HL111 previous answer version 1757 answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie attachment 1 file name HL111 Table .docx title Table
