uin	116954
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2022 answer text <p>We know women released from prison face significant barriers to securing suitable accommodation and that earlier support, whilst they are on remand, to find accommodation can help.</p><p>Women on remand are supported to meet their immediate resettlement needs and prepare for release by probation pre-release staff in prisons. We have committed to supplementing the existing support from probation staff with access to specialist accommodation, finance and debt support for all women on remand or sentenced in custody. We aim to have commenced this additional provision by the summer of this year.</p><p>In 2021, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) introduced Housing Specialists in twenty prisons, including four women’s prisons namely HMP Styal, Bronzefield, Peterborough and New Hall. The role of these specialists is to support prisons and probation in their strategic response to reducing homelessness. This includes working in partnership internally across HMPPS and externally with Local Authorities, Police and Crime Commissioners and organisations contracted to provide specialist support, to develop or strengthen accommodation pathways on release from prison. We have committed to increase the number of Housing Specialists to 48 across England and Wales, including across the women’s estate.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 10/02/2022 17:10:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	117004
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2022 answer text <p>The Metropolitan Police Service, in common with all other police forces in the United Kingdom, is operationally independent from Government. To protect and maintain that independence, Ministers do not intervene in individual cases, complaints or operational decisions made by the police and nor should MPs.</p><p>Allegations against the police are handled under a comprehensive legislative framework, which includes the role of the independent police “watchdog”, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). The IOPC is responsible for investigating the most serious and sensitive cases and, by law, forces must refer certain matters to them – including any allegation of serious corruption. The Government strengthened the police complaints and discipline systems in February 2020 making them more timely, proportionate and accountable. This included additional powers for the IOPC, including the “power of initiative” to ensure they can investigate of its own volition without first requiring a referral from a police force.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 10/02/2022 15:23:08 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2022 answer text <p>The Government implemented reforms in February 2020 to streamline the decision-making processes and increase the effectiveness of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).</p><p>Further to this, the Home Secretary announced last year that she was bringing forward a periodic review of the IOPC. This review will be led by an independent reviewer and will consider the IOPC’s efficiency and effectiveness, including its decision-making processes.</p><p>The review will start this year. The IOPC is an investigative body and is not itself responsible for the outcomes via the police misconduct system and the criminal justice system.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 07/02/2022 16:09:30 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
