In 2017/18, over 2000 foreign national offenders were removed under this scheme. In addition, prisoners may be transferred to a prison in their own country. The principal compulsory prisoner transfer scheme is the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision (Council Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA). The table below gives the proportion of EU nationals held in prisons and the HMPPS run IRC. The table includes those EU nationals held on remand, those serving short sentences, and those held under immigration powers who are not eligible for transfer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Number of prisoners transferred under the EU PTFD</p></td><td><p>EU FNO population (inc.

Two Member States have yet to implement the agreement. The number of prisoners transferred has risen steadily since 2013 as Member States put in place new legislation and procedures necessary to implement the Framework Decision. Prior to a Member State’s implementation of the Framework Decision transfers took place under the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. These transfers are not included in the table.</p><p> </p><p>The number of foreign national offenders held in Scotland and Northern Ireland is a matter for their respective governments.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 19/11/2018 17:46:38 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

The appropriate authorities decide, based on the evidence, whether the non-compliance event constitutes a breach and if so what action should be taken. The nature of breaches vary, and not all non-compliance events are classed as formal breaches requiring further action – for example, if the subject was at hospital or in custody at the time, and therefore unable to return to their curfew location in time for their curfew. While the majority of non-compliance events will generate an alert than can lead to a breach there are a range of other circumstances that can lead to breach action being taken.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 21/10/2019 16:11:12 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
