star this property answer text <p>Following feedback from prison Governors, we have made some minor adjustments to the property prisoners are allowed to have under the revised Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP) framework, including metal guitar strings. Governors were notified on 15 July 2014 that, with immediate effect, it was open to them to include full metal guitar strings on their local facilities lists. This allows eligible prisoners to purchase them for use on acoustic guitars kept in-cell.</p><p> </p><p>Full metal strings are, as with the nylon and metal coiled strings which were already permitted, available by application only, issued on a one-for-one basis, and subject to local risk assessment. As with the nylon and metal coiled strings, Governors can make them available to prisoners on the Standard and Enhanced levels of the IEP framework.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The UK is a signatory to the 1961 UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and the 1930 Special Protocol concerning Statelessness. The 1961 Convention clearly sets out the circumstances in which it is permissible to remove citizenship and leave a person stateless and when it is not. <br>Recent amendments to the power contained in the UK’s domestic legislation regarding removal of British citizenship were made in accordance with these obligations. Also, following the statement by the Prime Minister to the House on 1 September, the Government is working on proposals for action against British nationals fighting abroad, and is ensuring that these too will be compliant with the UK’s international obligations.</p><p> </p> more like this
