	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>All prisoners are able to request access to IT for legal purposes. However, there is a clear need to balance the need to access electronic legal information with the risk that some prisoners may seek to use IT for illicit or criminal purposes. Therefore, prisoners are only provided with IT equipment where there is a clear and genuine need, and where not to do so would raise a real risk of prejudicing the legal proceedings.</p><p> </p><p>Where such a requirement is clear, a prisoner can be provided with IT for the sole specified purpose of considering digital evidence. The IT can be made available for as long as the requirement to use it remains, up to the conclusion of the relevant legal proceedings.</p><p>There is currently no national guidance on the process for access to digital evidence (formerly access to justice). Local procedures for assessing access to digital evidence have been developed in collaboration with the High Security and Long Term Estate and the Directorate of Security, Order and Counter Terrorism Guidance on the procedures for applying for, and receiving, access to digital evidence will be published for prison staff and prisoners this year.</p><p> </p><p>Information on the number of applications made and approved for access to digital evidence is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah grouped question UIN 3720 question first answered 18/07/2017 15:45:15 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
