tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL1381
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2015 answer text <p>Information on the change in the number of full time equivalent band 3 to 5 prison officers in Wandsworth between 31 May 2010 and 31 March 2015 is shown in the table below.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table: Number of Full Time Equivalent Officers in Wandsworth, 31 May 2010 - 31 March 2015</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Officer Grade</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>31 May 2010</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>31 March 2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>% Change</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Band 3-5 Officers</strong></p></td><td><p>420</p></td><td><p>270</p></td><td><p>-35</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>All figures are rounded to the nearest 10, with numbers ending in 5 rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. As with all HR databases, extracts are taken at a fixed point in time, to ensure consistency of reporting. The database itself is dynamic however, and where updates to the database are made subsequent to the taking of the extract, these updates will not be reflected in figures produced by the extract. For this reason, HR data are unlikely to be precisely accurate, and to present unrounded figures would be to overstate the accuracy of the figures. Rounding to 10 accurately depicts the level of certainty that is held with these figures.</p><p> </p><p>Percentages are formed from unrounded parts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentages may not equal the calculated percentages of rounded figures.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010 Wandsworth has undergone benchmarking as part of the New Ways of Working Model. This has resulted in a number of roles (for example instructors, caterers and programme facilitators) previously carried out by prison officers being civilianised. In additional a vulnerable prisoners unit was re-rolled from Category B to Category C and a small number of dog handlers moved to regional control. The target staffing figure is in line with similar establishments.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 21/07/2015 15:40:49 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the finding of the Office for Budget Responsibility that they will miss the target to increase exports to £1 trillion pounds by 2020 by £367 billion pounds.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL1259
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2015 answer text <p>World trade growth has been revised down by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) in each year of the forecast from 2016. As a result, the OBR now expects a weaker outlook for UK export markets. As the UK is one of the most open economies in the world, external weakness, particularly in our biggest export markets in Europe, reduces demand for our exports. In addition the slowdown in world trade is expected to continue, resulting in the OBR forecasting a weaker outlook for UK export markets.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The £1 trillion figure was set to be ambitious, and it remains so. UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) has more than doubled the number of businesses it helps on an annual basis since 2010, supported by extra resources. However, given the scale of the export challenge it is essential that the broad range of relevant government activity works effectively for all companies across multiple sectors and markets. That is why the government, in its Productivity Plan, has pledged to mobilise the whole of government behind exporting, working alongside a more effective UKTI and better export finance.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 21/07/2015 16:22:08 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley

tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL820
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2015 answer text <p>Every prisoner will have a period out of the cell each day. The actual amount will depend on whether the prisoner is fully engaging in the regime; his level on the Incentive and Earned Privilege (IEP) Scheme (a prisoner on the basic level will have less time out of the cell but if attending work will get a minimum of 9.25 hours); and, whether they are subject to any disciplinary action. Enhanced Category C offenders will get an additional session out during the evening so will get 11.25 hours out of cell.</p><p> </p><p>A Standard Category C prisoner engaging in the regime could expect to be out of their cell for an average of 10.25 hours each weekday and Category D prisoners 12.5 hours. At weekends this would be 7.5 hours for both categories.</p><p> </p><p>Weather permitting all prisoners are entitled to a minimum of 30 minutes in the outdoors every day.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 09/07/2015 13:02:27 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
