This is a responsibility that we take very seriously.</p><p>There are a number of avenues of dispute resolution available to individuals facing disability discrimination to try and resolve issues by agreement. These include the use of Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), judicial or other mediation.</p><p>Those facing disability discrimination in an employment or education setting may also seek redress through the tribunal system. Our £1bn court modernisation programme has already started improving the experience of those who use and need our courts and tribunals, by introducing 21st Century technology, online services and digital working, while making sure justice remains accessible. These reformed services will transform how people experience the justice system, with digital services making justice more accessible and straightforward.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 07/09/2018 14:02:34 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2018 answer text <p>We had been developing a business case for the community prisons for women before moving to a community based approach and had not finalised a cost for these prisons. The evidence base on reoffending has continued to evolve and change. We continue to work with the model set out in Baroness Corston’s report, <em>A review of women with particular vulnerabilities in the Criminal Justice System</em> (2007). We believe that the steps we have outlined in the female offender strategy, including £5m of cross government funding over two years and the plan to work with local and national partners to pilot at least five residential women’s centres across England and Wales, is the right way to approach this but it remains only a first step on a journey.</p><p> </p><p>The publication of the female offender strategy on 27 June is the start of a new and significant programme of work to deliver better outcomes for female offenders at all points of the justice system. It sets out our vision to see fewer women in custody, especially on short-term sentences, and a greater proportion of women managed in the community successfully. This will take some years to deliver and we will have the opportunity to revisit funding issues as we take work forward.</p><p>I remain committed to delivering these key reforms, which includes the female offender strategy, and ensuring there is sufficient funding for female offenders.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 07/09/2018 13:44:48 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>In my answer to Question 165655 I reiterated the commitment to delivering up to 10,000 modern, safe and decent prison places previously announced by this Government. The Prison Estate Transformation Programme is largely designed to replace existing capacity, although we anticipate it will also increase current capacity. Our objective remains to close the least fit for purpose prison accommodation while ensuring we continue to meet demand.</p><p>Prison population and capacity are kept under careful review to ensure that there is always sufficient capacity. Any decisions on the future size of the prison estate will reflect the current and projected prison population, including an assessment of the necessary margin to manage population fluctuations.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 04/09/2018 16:00:42 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
