answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>All establishments holding young offenders (either “young adults”, who are aged 18-21, or “young people”, who are aged 15 to 17) are designated as young offender institutions. In 2017 there were three self-inflicted deaths of young adults, and no self-inflicted deaths of young people.</p><p> </p><p>There are no ‘juvenile wings of prisons’, as any site with a population that includes both adults and young people is designated as both a prison and a young offender institution. The only such establishment in the estate at this time is HMP/YOI Parc, where there were no self-inflicted deaths of young people (or of adults) in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The safety and welfare of every young person in custody is our priority. That is why we are already investing in more front-line staff and building on our reforms to youth custody. We are expanding front-line staff capacity in public-sector YOIs by 20%, equating to over 120 new recruits. Since the creation of our youth justice reform programme last year, inspection reports have highlighted improvements in all the under-18 sites they have inspected, and we continue to drive forward these vital reforms so that we have safer, more rehabilitative young offender institutions.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 13/12/2018 16:07:28 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p>While the Government sets the strategic direction for the Post Office, it allows the company the commercial freedom to deliver this strategy as an independent business. The distribution of branches is an operational matter of commercial judgement for Post Office management team. I have therefore asked Paula Vennells, the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to the hon Member on this matter. A copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of the House.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 10/12/2018 17:50:39 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
