City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC) was one of eight local authorities directed in October 2018, as part of the supplement to the 2017 UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) Concentrations, to develop a local plan to tackle identified NO<sub>2</sub> exceedances, following a Government-funded targeted feasibility study conducted by the council. This study identified persistent long-term exceedances of legal NO<sub>2</sub> limit values in and around the city centre including the Shipley area, and that without further action CBMDC would not be compliant with legal NO<sub>2</sub> limits until 2027.</p><p> </p><p>Following approval of its plan early this year, CBMDC was subsequently directed and funded to introduce a charging Clean Air Zone in late 2021 that will cover the city centre, Canal Road corridor, Shipley and Saltaire, enabling CBMDC to achieve compliance by 2022.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 07/07/2020 14:08:51 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>Sentencing is a matter for our independent courts, who take into account all circumstances of the case, including any aggravating and mitigating factors. We are clear that sentencing must match the severity of a crime.</p><p> </p><p>However, sentences should also rehabilitate. There is persuasive evidence showing community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective than short custodial sentences in reducing reoffending. The MoJ study ‘The impact of short custodial sentences, community orders and suspended sentence orders on re-offending’ published in 2015 found that over a 1-year follow up period, a higher proportion of people re-offended having been sentenced to custody of under 12 months without supervision on release than other similar people given community orders.</p><p> </p><p>Unless we tackle the underlying causes of offending, we cannot protect the public from being victims of crime. Effective community orders can address offenders’ behaviour, answer their mental health and alcohol or drug misuse needs, and provide reparation for the benefit of the wider community.</p><p> </p><p>Data on the highest number of previous cautions and convictions for a selected offence type for a person who received their first immediate custodial sentence for the selected offence type, covering the period year ending September 2016 – year ending September 2018, can be viewed in the table.</p><p> </p><p>The data provided in the accompanying response table is sourced from MoJ's extract of the Police National Computer. As benefit fraud offences are not prosecuted by the police, we are unable to answer PQ230707.</p><p> </p><p>Caution should be exercised in drawing general conclusions from this data. By definition these are the very extremes of the system – the individuals with the very most convictions. Most significantly the 2015 study suggests that giving a short custodial sentence to a prolific offender is more, not less, likely to result in them committing another offence after custody, compared to giving them a community sentence.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart grouped question UIN 230698 230699 230700 230701 230702 230703 230704 230705 230706 230707 231412 231413 231415 231416 question first answered 19/03/2019 17:54:30 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name 230698 - 230707; 231412 - 231416 Response Table.xlsx title 230698 - 230707; 231412 - 231416 Response Table
