unstar this property answer text <p>The Prisoner Escort Custody Service (PECS), which is part of the National Offender Management Service, is responsible for the movement of prisoners between prisons, police stations and courts and their care and security while in court custody. PECS manages the secure escort contracts covering all those sent to custody in the prison estate, apart from Category A prisoners.</p><p> </p><p>However, there are occasions when the prison service may make use of taxis to provide prisons with a cost-effective, flexible way of fulfilling transport requirements for prisoners where there is a strong operational justification for doing so. This is an economical mode of transport (particularly in comparison with using cellular vehicles or purchasing cars). It reduces potential overhead costs for prisons, such as maintenance and cleaning, which have an impact on staff time. Prisons are able to access this form of transport at short notice, in response to urgent requirements</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the total amount of cost of hiring transport, including taxis, for prisoners for financial year 2013-14 for public sector prisons in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Transport Hire Costs for Prisoners </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>£3,417,595</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>To note within the table:</em></p><p>1. It is important to note that the charges for Taxis used for medical escorts are reimbursed by Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). PCTs have the commissioning and funding responsibility for all medical escorts and bedwatches for prisons but exclude Open prisons, Immigration Remand Centres and prisons in Wales.</p><p> </p><p>2. The figure for financial year 2013-14 is extracted from our central accounting code and include costs of hiring transport e.g. taxis, coaches, mini-buses etc. for taking prisoners to court and for all other escorts including bedwatches, funeral escorts and regime activities not in official vehicles. Also, the figure has been drawn from NOMS central accounting records, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p><p> </p><p>3. Private Prisons are excluded.</p><p> </p>

As stated previously, we fully endorse existing, strong credit unions expanding their membership to the Armed Forces community.</p><p> </p><p>I met Lord Kennedy on 15 October 2014 to discuss the matter of credit unions for members of the Armed Forces. I confirmed that the facilitation of payroll deduction for credit unions is technically possible and our payroll provider is engaged with officials to scope and cost such deductions. Further work is under way to determine the criteria for access to this facility, and to develop an education campaign for our personnel to enable them to make informed financial choices.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
