ROTL is used to prepare prisoners for their eventual release from custody and helps with finding work and stable accommodation, and to build and maintain family ties, all of which helps reduce reoffending. The table below shows the principal offence for which prisoners were serving a sentence while released on ROTL for work purposes in the last 12 months for which data is available. <table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="11"><p><strong>Table 1: Individuals released on temporary licence for work related purposes by offence group, April 2016 -

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2017 answer text <p>Within the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and its non-departmental public bodies: <br>a) 1,536 staff are in receipt of Excess Fares Allowance; <br>b) 51 staff are in receipt of High Mileage Allowance; and <br>c) There are currently 0 staff in receipt of subsidised healthcare benefits.</p><p>The MoJ, including HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) pay an Excess Fares Allowance in respect of home to work travel in exceptional cases where staff incur additional travel expenses and/or do not qualify for removal expenses or choose to move home when they are permanently and compulsorily transferred to a new location. This is normally payable for a maximum of three years. The cost of home to office travel is reimbursed in limited cases such as where staff are required to work late night and public transport is no longer available; where an employee is on a posting term such as Dual Workplace (travel costs being reimbursed from home to the additional permanent workplace only); and where staff are on long term detached duty over 2 years.</p><p>MoJ excluding HMPPS pays a High Mileage Allowance to reimburse staff who undertake over 5,000 miles for official duties in their own car per year. The value is linked to motoring costs and the number of staff in receipt of this allowance has reduced significantly from 303 to 51.</p><p>MoJ and HMPPS do not provide subsidised health insurance to staff. Staff may however choose to buy membership of Civil Service originated healthcare organisations such as Benenden out of post taxed income.</p><p>It has not been possible to provide the information from the Youth Justice Board in the time allowed. I will write to the honourable member in due course providing the requested information.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 20/09/2017 15:26:59 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
