	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>The information requested is provided in the attached table. As per the answer to PQ 184996, please note that offenders may appear both within the caseload figures of court orders (including community orders and suspended sentence orders), and post-release supervision.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies work closely with other agencies to support offenders in the community. When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders. We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members of the public.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/11/2018 17:01:11 question first ministerially corrected 21/11/2018 11:59:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart attachment 1 file name PQ 188194 - table.xlsx title PQ188194 - Table previous answer version 84891 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>Our national, regional and prison-level intelligence teams and our Security Risk Unit build a picture of how various forms of contraband, including drugs and mobile phones, enter our prisons. In March last year we further augmented this capability by investing £14 million in intelligence teams and new serious and organised crime teams to work closely with the Home Office, National Crime Agency and police forces.</p><p> </p><p>The research paper <em>The Demand for and Use of Illicit Phones in Prisons </em>published in 2018 also explains that illicit mobile phones can enter prisons in a number of ways. This can be viewed <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/726874/The_demand_for_and_use_of_illicit_phones_in_prison_web_.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Our security counter-measures then assist us to stop contraband from entering prisons, retrieve it and thereby frustrate illicit trade and further criminal activity within the prison. Most recently we have moved to draft specialist search teams into prisons across England and Wales, and invested £7 million to enhance security through scanners, improved searching techniques and phone blocking technology.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 23/01/2019 17:56:56 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 96840 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, who represented the Secretary of State, opposed release in this case. Indeed, the experienced offender manager, who recommended that Worboys remain in custody, considered that the Parole Board could undertake a thorough risk assessment based on the current convictions and the numerous references to wider allegations contained in the rest of the dossier.</p><p> </p><p>The High Court’s findings on how the Parole Board reached the decision in this case, highlighted its failures to undertake further inquiry into the circumstances of offending and, in particular, the extent to which the limited way in which Worboys described his offending may undermine his overall credibility. The High Court found that this was so, even in relation to the offences for which he was convicted. It is the responsibility of the Parole Board to satisfy itself that an offender is no longer a risk to the public and it has powers to request further evidence it deems appropriate. The judgement of Sir Brian Leveson is clear that the Parole Board failed in its duty here.</p><p> </p><p>The High Court found that although the sentencing remarks had been omitted, they did not detail the precise circumstances of Worboy’s offending.</p><p> </p><p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service submitted the dossier to the Parole Board on 26 April 2017. The Parole Board had sufficient time to request the sentencing remarks before the oral hearing, which took place on 8 November 2017, but did not so.</p><p> </p><p>The sentencing remarks in this case were omitted as the result of an administrative oversight. I can provide reassurance that Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service had implemented fresh and robust checks on every dossier, before the High Court handed down its judgment, to ensure that dossiers are complete for the Parole Board to undertake its consideration in all future parole cases.</p><p> </p><p>However, it is not usual to include police evidence, or information in respect of civil actions, in the dossier submitted to the Parole Board. In respect of the kit found by police, I can confirm that the dossier submitted to the Parole Board contained detailed descriptions of Worboy’s method of offending, including his use of substances to drug his victims.</p><p> </p><p>As the High Court said, this was an exceptional case, as there were a very high number of complaints to the police, and two of Worboys victims brought a successful action against the Metropolitan Police for its failures to properly investigate their complaints.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, in the light of this judgement, the Secretary of State has pledged that all relevant evidence of past offending should be included in the dossiers submitted to the Parole Board, including, possibly, police evidence, so it can be robustly tested at each Parole Board hearing. Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service is in the process of issuing new guidance to ensure that this is absolutely clear to those submitting evidence.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 23/04/2018 15:42:55 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 52596 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>HM Prison &amp; Probation Service (HMPPS) is committed to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of its staff. HMPPS has systems in place to deal with perpetrators of violence against staff quickly and robustly, with serious incidents referred to the police for prosecution.</p><p> </p><p>The number of working days lost as a result of an injury sustained in a workplace assault specifically cannot be extracted from the data that is held. However the number of working days lost amongst band 3-5 prison officers due to sick reasons defined as work related accidents, injuries or assaults is shown in Table 1 below. This data is available in the quarterly HMPPS (formerly NOMS) workforce statistics.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: Working days lost amongst band 3-5 prison officers due to sick reasons defined as work related accidents/injuries/assaults, 2009/10 to 2017/18</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of working days lost due to work related accidents/injuries/assaults<sup>1</sup></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>25,246</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>37,351</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>33,287</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>30,080</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>36,440</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>43,926</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>39,652</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17<sup>2</sup></p></td><td><p>24,074</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18<sup>2</sup></p></td><td><p>14,973</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong><em>Notes: </em></strong></p><p><sup>1</sup> Figures provided are based on records where sickness reasons are defined as work related injury/assault or work related accident/injury.</p><p><sup>2 </sup>Between January and March 2017, during migration of data to the Single Operating Platform, an</p><p>Under-recording of sickness absence records occurred. There is therefore likely to be an undercount of working days lost for the 12 months to 31 March 2017. Furthermore, investigations are ongoing regarding more recent sickness absence data so figures for the 12 months to 31 March 2018 should be treated with caution.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 26/06/2018 12:43:18 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 65581 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
