tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Chesterton
uin	HL2923
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>We have robust processes in place to closely monitor privately managed prisons and will not hesitate to take action if and when standards fall short. There is a HMPPS Controller based in every privately managed prison, accountable for providing assurance that the contracts are delivered in accordance with agreed contractual delivery indicators, and that the prison provides safe, decent and secure services. Senior Contract Managers (SCMs) provide an additional level of operational assurance and support for the Controllers.</p><p> </p><p>Privately managed prison contracts set out a strict performance framework, consisting of prescriptive performance targets. Failure by the provider to meet performance targets results in performance points and, potentially, financial remedies being applied against the provider. It is important to recognise, however, that privately managed prison providers achieve the majority of their contractual targets.</p><p> </p><p>Any decision to revoke a contract to operate a privately managed prison will be made after following a clear process and where the operator fails to improve performance despite this process. We do not currently anticipate any such action taking place against any privately managed prison.</p><p> </p><p>Privately managed prisons have been a key feature of the prison estate for over 20 years and will continue to play an important role.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 20/11/2017 17:51:12 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

tabling member printed	Lord Laming
uin	HL2938
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice works with other departments to achieve the best outcomes for children both outside and within the court process. We are committed to ensuring that young people in the youth justice system receive the support they need to prevent them from committing further offences, with youth offending teams leading a multi-agency approach involving the courts, children’s services and other local services as appropriate. We recognise that problem-solving approaches can provide alternatives to a traditional court process, and may lead to improved outcomes for children and their families. We are supportive of such approaches in family proceedings, for example Family Drug and Alcohol Courts and the current piloting of settlement conferences.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 20/11/2017 17:50:11 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

As part of my Department’s work stemming from the Race Disparity Audit published on 10 October we have confirmed that, in advance of our full response, we are able to accept four recommendations from the Review. These relate to the principle of “explain or change”, publishing more and better data on ethnicity, recruiting a more representative prison service workforce and developing indicators within prisons’ performance framework that allow us to assess the equality of outcomes for prisoners of all ethnicities.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 13/11/2017 16:14:51 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>The information requested is not collected centrally and could not be obtained without incurring disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Public protection is our priority. The power to recall is used to ensure that offenders on licence who present a high risk of harm to the public or are at risk of re-offending are returned to custody as quickly as possible. Probation services assess the risk an offender poses and recommend recall where they consider that necessary in all the circumstances. Officials in HM Prison and Probation Service headquarters will then ensure that the probation services have provided the evidence to support the recall before formally revoking the offender’s licence. We are committed to ensuring that the power to recall is used effectively and appropriately and that offender managers identify alternatives to recall wherever possible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah grouped question UIN 111876 question first answered 17/11/2017 13:09:53 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
