answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2019 answer text <p>It remains the case that we are investing in our prisons to deliver value for the taxpayer but, more importantly, rehabilitate offenders to reduce their likelihood of reoffending – which costs society around £18 billion each year.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the Government’s wider law and order agenda we have committed to:</p><ul><li>Creating an additional 10,000 modern, efficient prison places, to crack down on crime behind bars. This investment means prison places will become cheaper per place, per year.</li><li>Investing £100 million to bolster security in jails, introducing tough airport-style security scanners, mobile phone detection and prevention technology, and anti-corruption and intelligence operations. This investment will help to reduce drugs and violence across the estate, leading to an overall reduction in costs for other public sector agencies associated with prisons, such as the police and the NHS.</li><li>Spending an additional £156 million on maintenance of the prison estate, to update critical infrastructure such as fire systems and boilers, refurbish cells and showers and improve conditions for those living and working in prisons requiring the most urgent attention.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Although we are significantly investing in prisons, we are continuing with efforts to drive efficiencies across the estate to ensure as much money as possible goes back into keeping our prisons safe, decent and secure. This includes empowering Governors to make local decisions on how to spend their budget in a way that creates the most value for money and efficiency, and through better use of technology including video conferencing; facial recognition technology; and kiosks.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, we want to support Governors in reaching out into communities to ensure that we join up across our system and work with others to address the needs of offenders to stop them coming into or returning to custody.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 30/10/2019 14:40:13 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The prosecution of veterans is something that we take very seriously. Our Service personnel are of course subject to the law, but veterans should not have to face repeated investigations many years after the events in question. This is why we have just completed a public consultation on proposed legal protections measures for serving personnel and veterans. Once we have analysed the responses, we will bring forward legislation.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 21/10/2019 16:42:04 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Whole-life orders are the most severe form of punishment that the courts can impose, as such they are reserved for the most heinous cases of murder.</p><p>Schedule 21 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 sets out that a whole life order is currently the appropriate starting point for the murder of a child involving the abduction of a child or sexual or sadistic motivation. As part of a forthcoming Sentencing Bill, we will look at extending the range of circumstances where the starting point, in cases of murder, is a whole life order. We do not publish information on the areas that offenders are released to for operational security reasons.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 22/10/2019 17:02:42 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
