answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2022 answer text <p>The reason for the difference between figures provided in the response to HL5530 and table 5.1a of the Female Offender Strategy supporting data tables is a change in methodology.</p><p> </p><p>The figures provided in table 5.1a were calculated using travelling distance (i.e. the distance of a road journey between 2 destinations). From 2019, the methodology used to extract information on prisoners’ distance from home changed to the straight-line distance approach used in the answer to HL5530 and other similar questions.</p><p> </p><p>Straight-line modelling is the most consistent calculation method. Attempts to model based on travelling distance are subject to significant temporal and geographical variation (e.g. inner city travel time).</p> answering member printed Lord Wolfson of Tredegar question first answered 24/03/2022 17:53:03 answering member 4901 label Biography information for Lord Wolfson of Tredegar
