It only happens following full public consultation and only when effective access to justice can be maintained. Courts that have closed were either underused, dilapidated or too close to another court.</p><p> </p>

It does not contain data broken down into different classes of weapon. There is no available data in relation to the proportion of finds attributable to individuals visiting the prison estate.</p><p> </p><p>The Government takes seriously the conveyance of weapons and other illicit items and substances into prisons.</p><p> </p><p>In August 2019, the Government committed to invest £100 million in prison security in an ambitious new Security Investment Programme. One of the aims of the Programme was to reduce illicit items entering the prison estate.</p><p> </p><p>Since then, we have installed 73 X-ray body scanners across the prison estate and to date have had over 9000 positive indications. The roll out of Enhanced Gate Security (EGS), replicating the tough measures used in airport screening, has resulted in hundreds of illicit items prevented from entering prisons.</p>

answer text <p>HM Prison and Probation Service has conduct and discipline policies in place which set out the minimum standards of conduct expected of all civil servants. Staff must exercise particular care to ensure that their dealings with prisoners, former prisoners and their friends and relations are not open to abuse, misrepresentation or exploitation. Staff relationships with prisoners must be professional at all times, and the HMPPS Counter Corruption Unit proactively follows up on intelligence to detect and investigate potentially inappropriate relationships.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of prison staff dismissed after conduct and discipline action due to inappropriate relationships with a prisoner/ex-prisoner from the years 2009/10 to 2019/20. The figure for 2020/21 will be available in November following publication of the 2020/21 HMPPS Staff Equalities Report.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: Prison staff<sup>1</sup> dismissed<sup>2</sup> after conduct and discipline<sup>3 </sup>action for inappropriate relationship with a prisoner / ex-prisoner 4<sup>4</sup>, for years 2009/10 to 2019/20</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>2009-10</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010-11</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011-12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015/16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016/17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017/18</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018/19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019/20</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Prison staff dismissed due to inappropriate relationship with a prisoner / ex-prisoner</p></td><td><p>13</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>13</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Notes to tables:</p><p>1.
