answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>We are taking decisive steps to tackle the use of drones as a supply route for criminals to bring contraband, including drugs and mobile phones, into prisons. Last year we launched Operation Trenton, a specialist team of Prison Service and Police investigators, to work together to intercept drones and track down the criminals behind them.</p><p>It is not possible to identify from centrally held data which convictions secured under the Prison Act 1952 relate specifically to drones. However, we believe that at least 45 people have been convicted of illicit drone activity, with those sentenced serving a total of more than 140 years in prison. On 26 October, following the largest investigation of its kind, an organised criminal gang of 15 were collectively sentenced to nearly 40 years in prison for using drones to drop drugs into a number of prisons. The ringleader, Lee Anslow, received a sentence of 10 years, the highest single sentence for drone-related activity to date.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/11/2018 17:37:47 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

uin	186976
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>The percentage of disadvantaged pupils[1], in state-funded schools[2], in the bottom quartile[3] of Attainment 8 points for 2014/15 - 2016/17 is given in the attached table, along with the percentage of disadvantaged pupils in all state-funded schools for comparison.</p><p>In order to accurately identify the bottom quartile of pupils, an attainment measure with sufficient granularity is required. The Department’s current headline attainment measure (Attainment 8) provides this but was only introduced in 2014/15. There is no current headline attainment measure with data available that is comparable over the requested period (2007 to 2017).</p><p> </p><p>[1] A pupil is classed as disadvantaged if they are known to have been eligible for free school meals in the past six years, if they are recorded as having been looked after for at least one day or if they are recorded as having been adopted from care.</p><p>[2] State-funded schools include academies, free schools, city technology colleges, further education colleges with provision for 14 to 16 year olds and state-funded special schools. They exclude independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools and alternative provision.</p><p>[3] As numerous pupils can share the same score, splitting the cohort into precise quartiles is not possible. In 2014/15, 26.1% of pupils were included in the ‘bottom quartile’, in 2015/16 it was 26.0% and in 2016/17 it was 25.3%. This will have some effect on the proportions of disadvantaged pupils, as relatively fewer pupils are included in later years, but the nature of that effect cannot be definitively stated.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/11/2018 16:39:36 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb attachment 1 file name 186976_attainment_table.pdf title Attainment_table_state_funded_schools
