answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2022 answer text <p>Tackling drug misuse in prisons is a priority for the department. All prisons must have a zero-tolerance approach to drugs.</p><p>The Government’s £100m Security Investment Programme to reduce crime and prevent drugs entering prisons completed in March 2022. This funded a range of security measures, including X-ray body scanners across the entire closed male estate. Since July 2020, these have resulted in over 10,000 positive scans, many finding multiple contraband items, preventing drugs and mobile phones and other illicit items from entering prisons. We are going further this year with £25m investment to restrict drug supply into prisons, including installing x-ray baggage scanners at 42 high priority sites, and enhancing our mobile blocking technology.</p><p>Alongside this, the Ministry of Justice is investing £120m over the next three years to get more offenders engaged in treatment, and support them towards abstinence. With this investment, we will enhance testing regimes in prison, expand the use of Drug Recovery Wings where prisoners commit to remain drug-free and undergo regular voluntary drug tests, support prisoners to engage with community treatment ahead of their release and increase the use of intensive drug rehabilitation requirements for those on community sentences.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 12/07/2022 11:47:38 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
