answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>The department records all fires in prison on an electronic national database that comprises information specific to the circumstances surrounding each individual event. As part of this, prison fire-related referrals to the police are recorded and are held centrally by HMPPS. However, as confirmed in the response to 550, Crown Prosecution Service referrals are not held centrally by HMPPS because such referrals are made by the police. The requested data may, therefore, be held by individual police forces.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 3675 3676 question first answered 29/10/2019 15:20:53 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
