uin	HL3276
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>Safety is our number one priority<strong> – </strong>The deployment of staff between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing. It allows staff to be allocated from prisons with the capacity to provide them, to those where additional staffing is required. In November the Secretary of State announced an extra 2500 additional prison officers to tackle safety in the estate. The table below sets out the average number of prison officers on detached duty by month in 2015 and 2016:</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><p>2015</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan</p></td><td><p>254</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb</p></td><td><p>254</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar</p></td><td><p>217</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr</p></td><td><p>194</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May</p></td><td><p>268</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun</p></td><td><p>269</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul</p></td><td><p>250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug</p></td><td><p>201</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep</p></td><td><p>195</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Oct</p></td><td><p>191</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nov</p></td><td><p>179</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dec</p></td><td><p>192</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p>2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jan</p></td><td><p>178</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feb</p></td><td><p>188</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mar</p></td><td><p>168</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Apr</p></td><td><p>170</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May</p></td><td><p>175</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>June</p></td><td><p>164</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul</p></td><td><p>188</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug</p></td><td><p>201</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep</p></td><td><p>199</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 06/12/2016 17:39:11 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the average food budget per prisoner per day in prisons in England and Wales for each of the last five years for which figures are available.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradley
uin	HL3277
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2016 answer text <p>The National Offender Management Service (NOMS), on behalf of the MoJ Department, is responsible for allocating food budgets to all adult public sector prisons across England and Wales. There are separate budget arrangements in place for prisons within the Young Peoples Estate and the private sector. The table below shows the allocated food budget for financial years 2012-13 to 2015-16:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Fiscal Year</p></td><td><p>Allocated Budget</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>£2.10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£1.96</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£2.02</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£2.02</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>For 2016-17, non-pay budgets, including an element for prisoner food, were based on a standard unit cost by prison type, in place of the previous set of standardised budgets. This gave Governors more freedom in allocating non-pay budgets, with the £2.02 figure for prisoner food retained as a guide.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 30/11/2016 17:49:53 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has been clear that she wants to protect the status of EU nationals already living and working in the UK after the UK leaves the EU, and the only circumstances in which that wouldn’t be possible is if British citizens’ rights in other EU Member States were not protected in return.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/11/2016 16:26:20 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions have been held between the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office about the eligibility of public service interpreters for a criminal records check at enhanced disclosure level; and what has been the outcome of those discussions.

uin	HL3280
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2016 answer text <p>An individual who is seeking to work with children or vulnerable adults may be eligible for an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, eligibility for which is set out in Part V of the Police Act 1997. Eligibility takes into account the activities and circumstances under which the person is performing the role, and not necessarily the profession.</p><p>Interpreters in certain public service positions may already be eligible for enhanced checks, for example those working within prisons or those working in certain roles with children or vulnerable adults. It is for an employer to satisfy themselves that the relevant position is eligible under the current legal provisions. Detailed guidance on eligibility is provided by the Disclosure and Barring Service.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 22/12/2016 12:36:19 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to include interpreting in public services within the list of excepted professions in Schedule 1 to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.
tabling member printed	Baroness Coussins
uin	HL3281
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2016 answer text <p>The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 lists areas of activity and proceedings which are exceptions to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA), meaning that the employer or other relevant body is entitled to ask for, and take into account, certain spent cautions and convictions (as well as unspent convictions).</p><p> </p><p>For inclusion within the Exceptions Order, there has to be compelling evidence that there exists an exceptional reason for the disclosure of the spent caution or conviction. For example, where the role involves working with vulnerable people. For the ROA to continue to be effective in achieving its aims of improving access to employment and rehabilitation, exceptions to the Act should only be sought where there is good reason.</p><p> </p><p>The exceptions take into account the role the person is carrying out and not necessarily the profession or job they do (unless it is proportionate to protect all roles in a job or profession). Interpreters in certain public service positions may already be included in the Exceptions Order, for example those working within prisons or those working in certain roles with children or vulnerable adults. It would not be appropriate or proportionate, however, to introduce a blanket provision to cover all such interpreters.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 21/12/2016 17:31:30 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
