answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Ministry of Justice</p><p> </p><p>Simple cautions (previously police cautions) are a non-statutory disposal available to the police to dispose of any offence committed by an adult designed for dealing with low level, mainly first time offending. The Ministry of Justice issues guidance on the process to be followed by the police and the CPS when they are administering simple cautions for adult offenders</p><p> </p><p>The Government is clear that serious offences should always be brought to court, and to ensure that there is increased public confidence in the justice system, last year announced changes to stop the use of cautions for indictable only offences and certain serious either way offences unless there are exceptional circumstances and a senior police officer, as well as the CPS for certain cases, has agreed that a caution should be administered.</p><p>The MOJ guidance on Adult Simple Cautions was amended in November last year to reflect these changes, and we are legislating in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill to place statutory restrictions around their use.</p><p> </p><p>Information on cautions is not held by parliamentary constituency. This information may be on the police record, which can only be obtained at disproportionate cost</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p> </p><p>I recognise that burglary can have severe emotional and other negative effects on victims, particularly on children, for whom the safety and security of the home is especially important.</p><p> </p><p>The Government's new Code of Practice for Victims of Crime, which came into force on 10 December 2013, gives victims of crime clearer entitlements from criminal justice agencies and better tailors services to individual need. Under the Code, criminal justice agencies must provide enhanced services to vulnerable victims, including victims under the age of 18. The Code contains a section dedicated to the needs of children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>The Code also entitles victims to make a Victim Personal Statement (VPS) which provides them with a stronger voice in the criminal justice process. Therefore child victims of burglary, or other crimes, are able to explain in their own words how the crime has affected them.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The guidance document published by HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS) explains that remission applications will be processed within five working days of the date that they are received, and that appeals will be determined within 10 days. The latest available information collated by HMCTS staff indicates that the applications received in respect of employment tribunal matters are currently determined within three working days. Appeals in respect of employment tribunal remissions decisions are currently determined within nine days.</p><p> </p><p>However, data on the time taken for each one of the remission applications determined so far is not readily available. To obtain that data would require significant work to interrogate the relevant HMCTS case management database. This work, if undertaken for the purposes of answering this question, would incur disproportionate cost.</p> more like this

answer text <p>In instances where prisoners are removed from normal location they are not left in isolation for extended periods of time and are never, therefore, held in conditions of solitary confinement.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners may, be held in segregation for reasons of good order and discipline or for their own protection. They may also be segregated to await adjudication or as a punishment of cellular confinement for offences against prison discipline. Prisoners are only segregated where it is proportionate to the risk posed by or to the prisoner in question and where there are no practical alternatives. Segregation is only in circumstances that are lawful, safe and decent.</p><p> </p><p>Figures for the number of prisoners held in segregation during the period specified are not recorded centrally and could only be provided by collating the relevant information from records held at (a) Lincoln prison and (b) all prisons. In either case this could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
