answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2023 answer text <p>NHS England’s National Contract Value Review (NCVR) provides costing and contracting for commercial clinical research undertaken in the National Health Service. Since its introduction in October 2022, over 600 studies have had a national review completed. The average time from initial costing submission to the date of the first participant consenting to take part in the study has reduced by 110 days or 36%. Stage 2 of NCVR was implemented in October 2023 and eliminates local negotiation at the point of costing and contracting and will further improve these timelines.</p><p>In addition, NHS England and the Devolved Administrations are committed to extending NCVR to include the setup of Early Phase (phase I and IIa) and Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs) studies. Work has begun to introduce NCVR in a limited number of ATMP studies to test and refine the process.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 29/11/2023 13:43:37 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson previous answer version 1426 answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2021 answer text <p>The immigration removal estate is kept under ongoing review to ensure that the Home Office has sufficient resilience, geographical footprint and capacity for the men and women it proves necessary to detain for the purposes of removal, while providing value for money.</p><p> </p><p>As part of its plans to manage the closure and return of the Morton Hall immigration removal centre to Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, the Home Office considered a number of sites for a new immigration removal centre (IRC). Specifically, sites such as the former Campsfield IRC were considered and the Home Office also engaged in discussions with the Ministry of Justice on the availability of surplus sites.</p><p> </p><p>Given the timescales and value for money considerations, acquiring the vacant Hassockfield site to open as an IRC for women was considered the most cost-effective option for maintaining immigration detention capacity.</p><p>An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) will be completed for opening of Hassockfield IRC in line with Public Sector Equality Duties. To ensure that decisions about the development of the site have due regard to eliminating discrimination and inequality, the EIA for Hassockfield will remain ongoing as plans progress to completion. The Home Office will publish the completed EIA in due course.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp grouped question UIN 864 question first answered 17/05/2021 16:39:50 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>We remain committed to reducing crowding across the prison estate. In the year to March 2019, the proportion of prisoners held in crowded accommodation was 22.5%, down from 24.2% the previous year and levels of around 25% experienced since 2004.</p><p>The Prime Minister’s pledge to invest up to £2.5 billion to create 10,000 additional prison places will have a positive impact on lowering the proportion of crowding in the prison estate, providing accommodation that is safe, decent and uncrowded. However, the extent to which the proportion of prisoners held in crowded accommodation will reduce will be dependent on future prison population levels.</p><p>Sentencing must match the severity of the crime and protecting the public will always be our priority. The sentencing reforms announced by the Government will ensure serious violent and sexual offenders spend longer in prison. The impact on the prison population will build up gradually over a number of years, and we will ensure that we have enough places for offenders sent by the courts.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 21/10/2019 14:54:30 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

These reforms will ensure fair and equal representation for the voting public across the United Kingdom.</p><p>Equalising the size of constituencies in the Boundary Review will ensure everyone’s vote will carry equal weight. Without such boundary reforms, MPs could end up representing constituencies based on data that is over 20 years’ old, disregarding significant changes in demographics, house building and migration.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 27/06/2017 12:38:41 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
