answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2023 answer text <p>The quarterly HMPPS workforce statistics publication covers staffing information, including number of leavers by length of service and grade. The latest publication covers data for up to the period 30 September 2023. Data for the number and proportion of Probation Officers who left the department in the 12 months to 30 September 2023, by length of service, can be seen in Table 1 below.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: Probation Officer leavers by length of service, for those who left the department in the 12 months to 30 September 2023 </strong>(headcount)</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="9"><p>Completed years of service and percentage of total</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 1 year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 2 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 3 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 4 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 5 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 6 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 7 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Less than 8 years</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Headcount</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>69</p></td><td><p>103</p></td><td><p>147</p></td><td><p>167</p></td><td><p>182</p></td><td><p>188</p></td><td><p><strong>372</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Percentage of total</p></td><td><p>1%</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td><td><p>19%</p></td><td><p>28%</p></td><td><p>40%</p></td><td><p>45%</p></td><td><p>49%</p></td><td><p>51%</p></td><td><p><strong>100%</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>1. Length of service in HMPPS is calculated from the most recent hire date. Where staff have transferred in from another Government Department or have transferred in through HMPPS taking over a function, length of service is calculated from entry to HMPPS.</p><p>2. As with all HR databases, extracts are taken at a fixed point in time, to ensure consistency of reporting. However, the database itself is dynamic and where updates to the database are made late, subsequent to the taking of the extract, these updates will not be reflected in figures produced by the extract. For this reason, HR data is unlikely to be precisely accurate.</p><p>3. The length of service bands have been grouped so that the data presented is cumulative in nature (so those with less than 1 year of service will be counted in all columns).</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 27/11/2023 16:12:50 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2023 answer text <p>The Ministerial Code makes clear that Ministers must ensure that no conflict arises, or could reasonably be perceived to arise, between their public duties and their private interests, financial or otherwise. It is the personal responsibility of each Minister to decide whether and what action is needed to avoid a conflict or the perception of a conflict, taking account of advice received from their Permanent Secretary and the Independent Adviser on Ministers’ interests.</p><p>As set out in Chapter 7 of the Ministerial Code, there is an established regime in place for the declaration and management of private interests held by ministers. Cabinet members appointed on 13 November 2023 are following this standard process. On appointment to each new office, ministers must provide their Permanent Secretary and Independent Adviser with a full list of interests which might be thought to give rise to a conflict. This includes interests of the minister’s spouse or partner and close family which might be thought to give rise to a conflict.</p><p>The Independent Adviser publishes a list of relevant interests. Work is underway on the next List which will include all ministers appointed week commencing 13 November.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 27/11/2023 17:57:25 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2023 answer text <p>Prison capacity and population movements are managed nationally across England and Wales. There are over 5,500 prison places in Wales including a 2,000 place prison, HMP Berwyn, which opened in 2017. Geographically HMP Berwyn is near to the Northwest of England and holds a significant number of prisoners sentenced by courts in that region as well as prisoners originating in Wales.</p><p> </p><p>UK nationals have a nationality of British. While holding an individual close to their home is an important consideration in the placement of prisoners, HMPPS does not identify or record prisoners as English or Welsh. Someone with an address in England may consider themselves to be Welsh, while someone with an address in Wales may not.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 16/11/2023 13:02:12 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
