uin	17931
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2024 answer text <p>We are working hard to deter, detect and disrupt the illegal use of drones to deliver contraband into prisons. We conduct vulnerability assessments across the estate to understand the risk and develop and implement plans to manage and mitigate the threat, including physical countermeasures.</p><p>The Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Act 2021 established powers for prisons to authorise the use of counter-drone technology. This Act also enables the police to stop and search those suspected of committing drone-related crimes.</p><p>In January this year, we strengthened the legislative framework by introducing Restricted Fly Zones around prisons to disrupt illegal drone use. This strengthens our ability to intercept illicit items being smuggled via drones, and enables the police to fine or prosecute those seeking to undermine prison security.</p><p>Recent joint operations with the police and HMPPS have resulted in a number of drone related arrests and disruptions to the activity of serious and organised crime networks. Since June 2016 we have secured over 70 convictions, and those convicted have been sentenced to more than a total of 240 years in prison.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 19/03/2024 11:19:21 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2024 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice has access to an extract of the police national computer (PNC). This extract primarily focuses on fields of information relating to individuals cautioned and/or convicted, their court cases, offences and disposals. The extract is classified as secret and making public a detailed list of fields would leave the Ministry of Justice exposed to security risk.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2024 answer text <p>Under the Public Sector Equality Duty, all public authorities, including Government departments, are required by law to ensure that they have due regard to certain equality considerations when carrying out their functions.

We do not keep central records of all our equality assessments undertaken over the last several years but publish our policy consultation equality assessments regularly on the MoJ consultation hub which is publicly available on GOV.UK: <a href="https://consult.justice.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Ministry of Justice - Citizen Space.</a></p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 25/01/2024 14:54:16 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer
