uin	5535
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The risks presented by the illicit use of drones in prisons are significant, as is the profound impact on prison safety and security. We rightly take a zero tolerance approach to smuggling of contraband into prisons and work closely with the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to ensure those caught are prosecuted. To date, there has been a total of 35 arrests and 11 convictions of criminals involved in drone activity – resulting in those convicted are sentenced to a total of more than 40 years in jail.</p><p> </p><p>I consider that there are risks presented by the publication of the data requested, which have the potential to cause further instability and increase violence and disorder in prisons, prejudicing the safe running of our institutions.</p><p> </p><p>The data requested would be likely to be used by some to subvert the effectiveness of our current counter measures. This is because the information is likely to prove invaluable to those engaged in criminality within prisons.</p><p> </p><p>Disclosure of this information could also prejudice any ongoing investigation of a drone incident and risk alerting possible suspects as well as weaken the possibilities of future arrests.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 20/07/2017 14:42:12 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
