answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2022 answer text <p>The Crime in Prison Referral Agreement, October (2022), aims to ensure that all acts of criminality that occur in prison are properly addressed within the criminal justice system, particularly in circumstances that indicate that a criminal prosecution is appropriate or where a statutory obligation exists.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to identify the number of prisoners who have been charged with attempted murder as a result of assaults on prison staff as this information is not held centrally. Detailed information may be held on local administrative records, but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access and review all potentially relevant records which would be of disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/12/2022 11:03:40 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

Figures for the total spend on prisoner-on-staff assault claims since 2016-17 are provided in the table below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Total spend on prisoner on staff assault claims (including legal costs)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£1.8m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£5.2m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£3.3m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>£4.3m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>£5.4m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>£4.5m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Violence against our hardworking staff is completely unacceptable and will never be tolerated.
