I undertook to write to you when the information had been received. The table contained within Annex A details the live contracts that the Department holds with Capita, G4S, Serco, GeoAmey, Sodexo and MITIE. The table provides you with details on the start and end dates of these contracts, the estimated value of the contract as advertised when the procurement process was initiated, extension options and whether there is a break clause. Where information pertaining to any of these questions is already in the public domain, you will find for ease of reference links to the Hansard extracts. There are no contracts between the Department and A4E. The table within Annex A provides details on financial penalties where this information is already available in the public domain. To obtain this information for all the contracts listed would incur disproportionate costs. The details for the legacy Electronic Monitoring contracts between the Department and G4S and Serco have not been provided to you due to the ongoing criminal investigation into issues relating to these contracts.

I have placed in the Library of the House, a table showing affordable and social rents as a proportion of market rents, for each London borough.The affordable rent model allows for more new affordable housing to be delivered with lower levels of taxpayer capital subsidy and by levering in more private investment. The programme is helping deliver £15 billion of private investment in new affordable housing over the current spending review, alongside £4.5 billion of public investment. Social rent and affordable rent go hand in hand; both help provide accommodation for those on low incomes.As the National Audit Office has observed: “the Department selected the best delivery model open to it for the funds it had available” and “the Department has so far achieved its policy objective to maximise the number of homes delivered within the available grant funding” (National Audit Office, “Financial viability of the social housing sector: introducing the Affordable Homes Programme”, 4 July 2012, HC465, pp.6-7).I note in his recent Fabian Society pamphlet, the rt. hon. Member has complained that affordable rent would result in rents of 80 per cent of market rents in London. Whilst it varies by borough, as the table shows, for example, affordable rent levels are 38 per cent of average local market rents in Camden, 48 per cent in Islington, 54 per cent in Southwark and 35 per cent in Westminster, reflecting local circumstances.I also observe that the housing policy announced at the Labour Party Conference in October 2012 also endorsed the use of affordable rents to build new homes; albeit this point is frequently lost on many Labour hon. Members who proceed to attack the basic principle of affordable rent in allowing more new affordable homes to be built using taxpayer capital subsidy.

I refer the rt. hon. Member to Live Table 784 available on my Department's website at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-homelessness" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-homelessness</a>The numbers of households in temporary accommodation in London are still well belowthe level they were at their peak, under the previous Administration, when they hit more than 63,800. Councils have a responsibility to move homeless households into settled accommodation as quickly as possible and we made common sense changes to the law to enable them to use suitable private rented homes. Indeed, the average stay in temporary accommodation in England has been reduced from 20 months at the beginning of 2010 to 14 months now.We have also seen a 42% reduction in the numbers of families with children in Bed and Breakfast for more than six weeks on this time last year across the country. The seven local authorities that we funded to tackle families in Bed and Breakfast have made significant progress achieving an overall reduction of 96% since the funding began.

The value of fines imposed, collected, cancelled and outstanding for the periods from April 2011 onwards are set out below.<table><tbody><tr><td>Period</td><td>Value of fines imposed</td><td>Value of fine collected in the same period they were imposed</td><td>Value of fines cancelled in the same period they were imposed</td><td>Value of fines imposed outstanding at the end of the period</td></tr><tr><td>April 2011 to December 2011</td><td>£170,962,169</td><td>£54,843,753</td><td>£12,470,347</td><td>£103,648,069</td></tr><tr><td>January 2012 to December 2012</td><td>£273,944,704</td><td>£70,032,092</td><td>£17,470,412</td><td>£186,442,200</td></tr><tr><td>January 2013 to September 2013 (latest published period)</td><td>£210,561,372</td><td>£44,541,677</td><td>£11,548,807</td><td>£154,470,888</td></tr></tbody></table> The values above only refer to fines and not any other elements of financial impositions such as prosecutor costs, compensation and victim surcharge. Where financial impositions are paid by instalments the fine element is the last part to be paid off after compensation, victim surcharge and prosecutor costs. The values cancelled can relate to legal or administrative cancellations. The value outstanding will include amounts remaining on accounts that are being paid by instalments or were not due for payment by the end of the period specified. It is not possible to provide data in this format for any period prior to April 2011 as new performance management information was introduced at that time. It is not possible to identify how much of the amounts imposed in 2011 or 2012 remained outstanding by the end of September 2013 (latest published data period) as data is only available for 18 months after the date imposed – after that it is not possible to extract the amount outstanding for a specific period from the total balance outstanding. HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012/13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year. At the end of September 2013 total collection (all imposition types excluding confiscation orders) was higher than the same point in the previous year and the outstanding balance had reduced since the start of the financial year. On average over the last 12 month 69% of accounts have been either closed or are compliant with payment terms by 12 months after imposition. HMCTS are actively seeking an external provider for the future delivery of compliance and enforcement services. This will bring the necessary investment and innovation to significantly improve the collection of criminal financial penalties and reduce the cost of the service to the taxpayer.

The value of confiscation orders imposed and the amounts outstanding for those orders, both with and without interest, as at 30 January 2014, for the calendar years from 2010 onwards, are set out in the Table A below. The volume of orders imposed and those that remain outstanding is in Table BTable A<table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Value of Confiscation Orders Imposed</td><td>Order Balance Remaining to Collect Excluding InterestAs at 30/01/2014</td></tr><tr><td>2010</td><td>£276,143,735</td><td>£167,176,784</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>£187,128,205</td><td>£73,910,472</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>£271,998,720</td><td>£162,286,156</td></tr><tr><td>2013</td><td>£245,728,131</td><td>£176,875,895</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>£980,998,791</td><td>£580,249,307</td></tr></tbody></table> Table B<table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Volume of Confiscation Orders Imposed</td><td>Volume of Orders with an Order Balance Remaining to Collect Excluding InterestAs at 30/01/2014</td><td>Total Volume of Orders to Collect Including InterestAs at 30/01/2014</td></tr><tr><td>2010</td><td>6,214</td><td>915</td><td>2,289</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>6,286</td><td>1,065</td><td>2,342</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>6,458</td><td>1,386</td><td>2,399</td></tr><tr><td>2013</td><td>6,139</td><td>2,500</td><td>3,141</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>25,097</td><td>5,866</td><td>10,171</td></tr></tbody></table> Confiscation orders are one of the key mechanisms available to the Government to deprive criminals of the proceeds of their crimes. The value of the order imposed, which is often very high, is based on the criminal benefit attributed to the crime and may, therefore, exceed the value of realisable assets that are known to the Court at the time of imposition. Crucially, an outstanding order stops the criminal benefitting from the proceeds of crime and ensures that, if the assets are discovered in the future, they can be seized. HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) and other enforcement agencies take the issue of recovering criminal assets very seriously and are working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. Although, as the Enforcement Authority, HMCTS owns the debt, it is not always the lead enforcement agency. HMCTS tends to lead on the high volume, low value orders. Prosecution agencies, including the CPS and the Serious Fraud Office, lead on enforcement where they have put Restraint Orders on the defendant's property to protect the asset, or where the professional expertise of an Enforcement Receiver will be required to enforce the confiscation order. All outstanding amounts are actively pursued using a range of enforcement tools open to us. A confiscation order is a life time order and only amounts up to £50 can be written off. Default sentences of up to 10 years in prison are activated for non payment. Serving the default sentence does not cancel the debt and we will continue to pursue the amount owed. Interest is added to the order balance outstanding at the rate of 8% per annum. The fact that interest accrues at such a high rate and amounts over £50 cannot be written off, contribute to the increasing level of debt. At the end of December 2013, the total amount outstanding was £1.47 billion, of which £372 million was interest alone. At the end of December 2013, including interest £24 million is owed by defendants who are deceased and a further £86 million is owed by defendants who have been deported. Even for those that are deported we still try to actively pursue the defendants assets held abroad, but we rely on the cooperation of overseas enforcement agencies, which is often not forthcoming. The Agencies responsible for enforcement are building better relationships with overseas authorities and engage specialist forensic teams to track down hidden assets. The amount defendants repaid from their criminal activity across all agencies reached an all time high during 2012/13, with a total of £133.1 million recovered. That represented a 7% increase on the £124.1 million recovered during 2011/12. The total amount recovered has increased for the last four consecutive years and once again we are on course to have another record breaking year this financial year. For the 2013/14 financial year, at the end of December 2013, £102.8 million had been recovered, which is an increase of 2% on the £100.5 million that was collected up to December 2012. Since 2008/09, when £98.8 Million was recovered, the amount collected from criminals has increased by 35%. HMCTS is seeking a commercial partner to help increase collections, reduce enforcement costs and importantly, ensure more criminals pay. A new national system has been implemented to manage the collection of fixed penalty notices, with all of the Police Forces having transferred to the new platform by June 2013.The continuing improvement the Agencies are making combined with our future plans will ensure that more criminals pay and that taxpayers get better value for money.

The most likely cause for this is fluctuations in foreign currency.POCA s25 Discharge – The Enforcement Authority can apply to the Crown Court to discharge amounts up to £50, where there is little prospect of recovering the small amount outstanding or it is no longer cost effective to do so.Reconsideration of Available Assets - Under POCA legislation the defendant can make an application to the Crown Court, to apply for a Variation Order to reduce the order amount where assets have not achieved the value assessed at the confiscation hearing. Unlike a pre-POCA COI application, no fee is payable. Confiscation orders are one of the key mechanisms available to the Government to deprive criminals of the proceeds of their crimes. The value of the order imposed, which is often very high, is based on the criminal benefit attributed to the crime and may, therefore, exceed the value of realisable assets that are known to the Court at the time of imposition.

Our accounts are based on financial years as opposed to calendar years; therefore the value and volume of outstanding confiscation orders as at 31 March, from 2010 through to 2013, are set out in the table below. However, as at 31 December 2013, there were 20,634 outstanding confiscation orders totalling £1,466,924,522 including interest. Excluding interest the figure is £1,094,584,445. <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td colspan="2">Volume of Orders Outstanding</td><td colspan="2">Value of Orders Outstanding </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Excluding Interest</td><td>Including Interest</td><td>Excluding Interest</td><td>Including Interest</td></tr><tr><td>31 March 2010</td><td>6,359</td><td>12,771</td><td>£711,409,802</td><td>£870,804,796</td></tr><tr><td>31 March 2011</td><td>7,488</td><td>15,227</td><td>£1,046,473,308</td><td>£1,254,278,825</td></tr><tr><td>31 March 2012</td><td>8,397</td><td>17,440</td><td>£915,151,064</td><td>£1,195,167,499</td></tr><tr><td>31 March 2013</td><td>9,295</td><td>19,727</td><td>£1,055,230,330</td><td>£1,406,638,265</td></tr></tbody></table> During 2011/12, two successful appeals with a combined total of £184.7 million were reduced to a total of £32.3 million.

Although, as the Enforcement Authority, HMCTS owns the debt, it is not always the lead enforcement agency. HMCTS tends to lead on the high volume, low value orders. Prosecution agencies, including the CPS and the Serious Fraud Office, lead on enforcement where they have put Restraint Orders on the defendant's property to protect the asset, or where the professional expertise of an Enforcement Receiver will be required to enforce the confiscation order. All outstanding amounts are actively pursued using a range of enforcement tools open to us. A confiscation order is a life time order and only amounts up to £50 can be written off. Default sentences of up to 10 years in prison are activated for non payment. Serving the default sentence does not cancel the debt and we will continue to pursue the amount owed. Interest is added to the order balance outstanding at the rate of 8% per annum. The fact that interest accrues at such a high rate and amounts over £50 cannot be written off, contribute to the increasing level of debt. At the end of December 2013, the total amount outstanding was £1.47 billion, of which £372 million was interest alone. At the end of December 2013, including interest £24 million is owed by defendants who are deceased and a further £86 million is owed by defendants who have been deported. Even for those that are deported we still try to actively pursue the defendants assets held abroad, but we rely on the cooperation of overseas enforcement agencies, which is often not forthcoming. The Agencies responsible for enforcement are building better relationships with overseas authorities and engage specialist forensic teams to track down hidden assets. The amount defendants repaid from their criminal activity across all agencies reached an all time high during 2012/13, with a total of £133.1 million recovered. That represented a 7% increase on the £124.1 million recovered during 2011/12. The total amount recovered has increased for the last four consecutive years and once again we are on course to have another record breaking year this financial year. For the 2013/14 financial year, at the end of December 2013, £102.8 million had been recovered, which is an increase of 2% on the £100.5 million that was collected up to December 2012. Since 2008/09, when £98.8 Million was recovered, the amount collected from criminals has increased by 35%. HMCTS is seeking a commercial partner to help increase collections, reduce enforcement costs and importantly, ensure more criminals pay. A new national system has been implemented to manage the collection of fixed penalty notices, with all of the Police Forces having transferred to the new platform by June 2013.The continuing improvement the Agencies are making combined with our future plans will ensure that more criminals pay and that taxpayers get better value for money.

For the financial year to date, 1st April 2013 to 30th September 2013 (latest published data) 614,693 financial imposition accounts were opened. Of those accounts opened in that period, 182,183 accounts were closed. A further 199,623 accounts were compliant with their payment terms. Financial impositions include fines imposed in the Magistrates and Crown courts, costs orders, compensation orders, victim surcharge orders and unpaid fixed penalty notices and penalty notices for disorder which are registered as fines for enforcement. The numbers of accounts closed is the position as at the end of September 2013 and those accounts outstanding could now have been closed or collected.. Accounts that are closed are accounts with a zero balance which could have been by payment or administrative or legal cancellation. HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012/13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year. At the end of September 2013 total collection (all imposition types excluding confiscation orders) was higher than the same point in the previous year and the outstanding balance had reduced since the start of the financial year. On average over the last 12 month 69% of accounts have been either closed or are compliant with payment terms by 12 months after imposition. HMCTS are actively seeking an external provider for the future delivery of compliance and enforcement services. This will bring the necessary investment and innovation to significantly improve the collection of criminal financial penalties and reduce the cost of the service to the taxpayer.

The value of fines imposed, collected, cancelled and outstanding for the periods from April 2011 onwards are set out below. <table><tbody><tr><td>Period</td><td>Value of fines imposed</td><td>Value of fine collected in the same period they were imposed</td><td>Value of fines cancelled in the same period they were imposed</td><td>Value of fines imposed outstanding at the end of the period</td></tr><tr><td>April 2011 to December 2011</td><td>£170,962,169</td><td>£54,843,753</td><td>£12,470,347</td><td>£103,648,069</td></tr><tr><td>January 2012 to December 2012</td><td>£273,944,704</td><td>£70,032,092</td><td>£17,470,412</td><td>£186,442,200</td></tr><tr><td>January 2013 to September 2013 (latest published period)</td><td>£210,561,372</td><td>£44,541,677</td><td>£11,548,807</td><td>£154,470,888</td></tr></tbody></table> The values above only refer to fines and not any other elements of financial impositions such as prosecutor costs, compensation and victim surcharge. Where financial impositions are paid by instalments the fine element is the last part to be paid off after compensation, victim surcharge and prosecutor costs. The values cancelled can relate to legal or administrative cancellations. The value outstanding will include amounts remaining on accounts that are being paid by instalments or were not due for payment by the end of the period specified. It is not possible to provide data in this format for any period prior to April 2011 as new performance management information was introduced at that time. It is not possible to identify how much of the amounts imposed in 2011 or 2012 remained outstanding by the end of September 2013 (latest published data period) as data is only available for 18 months after the date imposed – after that it is not possible to extract the amount outstanding for a specific period from the total balance outstanding. HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012/13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year.

The amounts of financial impositions administratively cancelled and legally cancelled in each year since 2009-10 are set out in the table below <table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Legally Cancelled</td><td>Administratively Cancelled</td></tr><tr><td>2009/10</td><td>£58,277,772</td><td>£47,398,379</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11</td><td>£62,263,874</td><td>£50,712,367</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12</td><td>£63,957,203</td><td>£63,135,442</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13</td><td>£62,594,601</td><td>£75,868,426</td></tr></tbody></table> The number of financial impositions administratively cancelled and legally cancelled in each year since 2011/12 are set out in the table below. Data on the number of financial impositions cancelled is not available prior to 2011/12. <table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Legally Cancelled</td><td>Administratively Cancelled</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12</td><td>161,455</td><td>226,955</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13</td><td>165,195</td><td>269,486</td></tr></tbody></table>It is not possible to identify the amounts or numbers written off for just the fine element. The amounts above therefore include all elements of financial penalties (excluding confiscation orders): fines, costs, compensation and victim surcharge. The amounts cancelled in a particular year can relate to impositions from that year or any previous year. Financial penalties are only administratively cancelled after all attempts to collect the amount outstanding have been made, and in accordance with strict cancellation criteria. These penalties can be written back on to the system if more information is found – for instance, a new address for the offender. Legal cancellations can be applied after the case has been reconsidered by a Judge or Magistrate. Typically, legal cancellations are used where a case has been re-opened and the defendant has been found not guilty, following the presentation of additional information. Legal cancellations can be full or partial remittances of financial penalties. HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has carried out a fundamental review of financial penalty accounts, actively targeting accounts to achieve compliance at the earliest point, as well as tackling old accounts, and administratively cancelling them where there is no realistic chance of collection because they do not have enough information to trace the debtors. This explains the increase in the value of administrative cancellations seen in the figures. This enabled HMCTS to focus resources on increasing collections on accounts which can be enforced, resulting in the record high level of collection in 2012/13. HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012/13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year. At the end of September 2013 total collection (all imposition types excluding confiscation orders) was higher than the same point in the previous year and the outstanding balance had reduced since the start of the financial year. On average over the last 12 month 69% of accounts have been either closed or are compliant with payment terms by 12 months after imposition.

I have set out below the number of criminal offences in England and Wales created by government departments. The numbers are collated by the Criminal Offences Gateway which scrutinises proposals on new and amended criminal offences for England and Wales. The numbers are based on offences put through the Criminal Offences Gateway during the period 1 June 2010 to 31 May 2013 (the latest available data). Further information can be found in the New Criminal Offences England and Wales <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revised-new-criminal-offences-statistics-in-england-and-wales-june-2009-may-2013" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revised-new-criminal-offences-statistics-in-england-and-wales-june-2009-may-2013</a> The numbers of new criminal offences, which include entirely new offences and existing offences which have been extended or amended in some way, are published annually by my department in the statistical bulletin New Criminal Offences. The new criminal offences enforce Government policy in a range of areas, including to contain the spread of serious animal diseases and to criminalise squatting in a residential building. <table><tbody><tr><td>Period covered</td><td>Number of legislative provisions (secondary & primary) containing new offences</td><td>Total criminal offences created</td></tr><tr><td>1 June 2010 to 31 May 2011</td><td>33</td><td>174</td></tr><tr><td>1 June 2011 to 31 May 2012</td><td>52</td><td>292</td></tr><tr><td>1 June 2012 to 31 May 2013</td><td>60</td><td>327</td></tr></tbody></table> 712 criminal offences were created during the period 1 June 2009 to May 2010 which was the 12 months immediately prior to the establishment of the Criminal Offences Gateway. New offences are needed for a number of reasons, for example, to update legislation that is now out of date, to underpin delivery of government priorities and to set out clearly what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. The Government committed to putting in place a mechanism, an additional layer of scrutiny, for proposals to create new offences. This is the first time a Government has done so and committed to doing so publicly. The Government has repealed 140 offences in the 12 months ending May 2013. The information on the predicted effect on the number of prisoners for each relevant offence is not available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

For offenders the period of post-release supervision on licence forms an integral part of a sentence imposed by the court. The overriding priority is to protect the public from harm and prevent re-offending. The recall of offenders on licence is designed to protect the public by removing an offender from the community who, by breaching his licence conditions, is considered to present an increased risk of re-offending and where the Probation Service recommends that this is the most effective response to the increased risk, in order to protect the public. Behaviour that can result in recall includes: the commission of further offences or charges being laid; behaviour which indicates that further offending is imminent; or breaches of licence conditions which undermine the Probation Service's ability to provide effective supervision, such as not living at the address stipulated on the licence or failing to attend probation appointments. Once recalled, it is the responsibility of the police to apprehend offenders, although all agencies closely co-operate to ensure that they are swiftly returned to custody. Data on those offenders who had committed minor breaches of licence, were warned, and not recalled to prison are not collected centrally. Those offenders whose breach of licence has resulted in a recall to prison are published quarterly in the Ministry of Justice's Offender Management Statistics Quarterly Bulletin. This may be found at the following web address: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-management-statistics-quarterly</a> The most recent bulletin was published on 30 January 2014, covering all offenders who were recalled to custody since 1 January 1984 and who remained unlawfully at large as at 31 December 2013. Therefore, the total number who remained unlawfully at large as at 31 December 2013 includes some offenders who were recalled before 2001/02. In over 99 per cent of cases where an offender has been recalled, the individual has successfully been returned to custody. Where an offender has died we are unable to remove them from the list until we receive a death certificate. The data covering the years since 2001/02 are shown in the table below. <table><tbody><tr><td>Financial year</td><td>Number of recalls</td><td>Prisoners who remain unlawfully at large</td></tr><tr><td>2001/02</td><td>5,086</td><td>29</td></tr><tr><td>2002/03</td><td>8,406</td><td>29</td></tr><tr><td>2003/04</td><td>11,268</td><td>55</td></tr><tr><td>2004/05</td><td>11,171</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>2005/06</td><td>11,450</td><td>73</td></tr><tr><td>2006/07</td><td>13,411</td><td>60</td></tr><tr><td>2007/08</td><td>13,252</td><td>65</td></tr><tr><td>2008/09</td><td>13,467</td><td>76</td></tr><tr><td>2009/10</td><td>15,004</td><td>89</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11</td><td>15,631</td><td>79</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12</td><td>16,591</td><td>118</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13</td><td>16,307</td><td>127</td></tr><tr><td>Apr-September 2013</td><td>8,847</td><td>146</td></tr></tbody></table> Data on the number of releases on temporary release licence (ROTL) since 1995-6, and temporary release failures since 2004-5 are published in the NOMS Prison Performance Digest. This may be found at the following web address: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/225234/prison-performance-digest-12-13.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/225234/prison-performance-digest-12-13.xls</a> The most recent data were published on 25 July 2013. Data on ROTL and recorded temporary release failures are shown in the table below. <table><tbody><tr><td>Financial year</td><td>Release on temporary licence</td><td>Recorded temporary release failures</td></tr><tr><td>2001/02</td><td>273,569</td><td>293</td></tr><tr><td>2002/03</td><td>294,112</td><td>312</td></tr><tr><td>2003/04</td><td>342,742</td><td>395</td></tr><tr><td>2004/05</td><td>397,969</td><td>366</td></tr><tr><td>2005/06</td><td>407,199</td><td>360</td></tr><tr><td>2006/07</td><td>409,139</td><td>306</td></tr><tr><td>2007/08</td><td>434,728</td><td>248</td></tr><tr><td>2008/09</td><td>431,351</td><td>277</td></tr><tr><td>2009/10</td><td>419,016</td><td>274</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11</td><td>431,178</td><td>281</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12</td><td>488,158</td><td>404</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13</td><td>518,862</td><td>431</td></tr></tbody></table> Not all temporary release failures are recorded on central administrative systems. Those that are not recorded centrally are more likely to be low-level failures including, for example, returning with unauthorised possessions. These failures are managed locally. Where failures are recorded, the central administrative system only allows for one reason to be recorded; where it is a failure to return this takes priority. The number of prisoners unlawfully at large (UAL) having failed to return from release on temporary licence for each financial year since 2004/05 is shown in the table below. <table><tbody><tr><td>Financial year</td><td>Number of prisoners who remain UAL following failure to return from ROTL</td></tr><tr><td>2004/05</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>2005/06</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>2006/07</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>2007/08</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>2008/09</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>2009/10</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13</td><td>7</td></tr></tbody></table> To provide the number of temporary release failures where the prisoner has failed to return and remains unlawfully at large prior to this date would require the manual interrogation of 1,000 temporary release records which could be done only at disproportionate cost. These figures have all been drawn from live administrative data systems which may be amended at any time. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system.

Releases in error are taken very seriously and action has been taken to tighten processes and focus managers' attention in this area. Releases in error are infrequent and all incidents are subject to investigation.The majority of prisoners released in error are returned to custody quickly. In the 12 months to September 2013 there were 46 releases in error from prison, which equated to 0.06% of all discharges from prison. This compares to 68 in 2009-10. The table below shows the number of prisoners who have not subsequently returned to custody following a release in error from prison between May 2010 and September 2013 and broken down by the security category recorded on the National Offender Management Information System. This information is accurate as of 4 March 2014. Table 1 Number of prisoners not subsequently returned to custody following release in error from prison between May 2010 and September 2013, by category <table><tbody><tr><td>Category</td><td>Number</td></tr><tr><td>Category C</td><td>13</td></tr><tr><td>Female (Closed)</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>Uncategorised</td><td>8</td></tr></tbody></table> It is important to note that not all prisoners released in error will be unlawfully at large and subject to recall. For example, they may be unconvicted prisoners released in error whose cases have been concluded since their release without a custodial sentence. These figures have been drawn from live administrative data systems which may be amended at any time. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. The number of releases in error may change should further incidents be reported. The number of absconds has come down sharply from a level of 947 in 2002-3 to 204 in 2012-13. Table 2 provides a breakdown of the number of absconds, by month between May 2010 and March 2013. Table 3 shows the number of absconders still unlawfully at large, by category, having absconded between May 2010 and March 2013. It is not possible to provide details of absconds by category of prisoner. The category of prisoner at time of release in error is not recorded in incident reports and live data shows details of the current security category only; it has therefore only been possible to provide the category of those who are currently unlawfully at large (table 3). Prisoners held in immigration removal centres are not subject to security categorisation. Over 97% of prisoners who abscond are re-captured and returned to custody. On re-capture the prisoner will be returned to a closed prison and referred to the police for consideration for prosecution for having been unlawfully at large. Table 2 Number of absconds between May 2010 and March 2013, by month <table><tbody><tr><td>Month</td><td>Number of absconds</td></tr><tr><td>May 10</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>June 10</td><td>21</td></tr><tr><td>July 10</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>August 10</td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>September 10</td><td>28</td></tr><tr><td>October 10</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>November 10</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>December 10</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>January 11</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td>February 11</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>March 11</td><td>14</td></tr><tr><td>April 11</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>May 11</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>June 11</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>July 11</td><td>13</td></tr><tr><td>August 11</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>September 11</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>October 11</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td>November 11</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>December 11</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>January 12</td><td>9</td></tr><tr><td>February 12</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>March 12</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>April 12</td><td>21</td></tr><tr><td>May 12</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>June 12</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>July 12</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>August 12</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>September 12</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>October 12</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>November 12</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td>December 12</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>January 13</td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>February 13</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>March 13</td><td>15</td></tr></tbody></table> Table 3 Number of prisoners unlawfully at large following abscond between May 2010 and March 2013, by category <table><tbody><tr><td>Category</td><td>Number</td></tr><tr><td>D</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>Not categorised</td><td>2</td></tr></tbody></table> These figures have been drawn from live administrative data systems which may be amended at any time. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. Escapes from transit include escapes from Prison Service and Contractor Escorts. The majority of escorts take place without incident and escapes whilst in transit are rare; there have been 10 since May 2010. This should be seen in relation to the 871,802 prisoners handled by the escort service in 2012-13 alone. Table 4 shows the number of escapes in transit, in each month between May 2010 and March 2013. All these prisoners have subsequently been recaptured. Table 4 Month and category of prisoners who escaped in transit between May 2010 and March 2013 <table><tbody><tr><td>Month</td><td>Category</td></tr><tr><td>May 10</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>May 11</td><td>Cat B</td></tr><tr><td>July 11</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>July 11</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>August 11</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>December 11</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>January 12</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>January 12</td><td>Potential Category A</td></tr><tr><td>October 12</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr><tr><td>November12</td><td>Uncategorised</td></tr></tbody></table> The number of both escapes and absconds have reduced significantly in recent years. Figures for the number of escapes and absconds since 1995 are provided in the Prison Digest contained in the Prison and Probation Trusts Performance Statistics.

Using centrally held financial records it is not possible to disaggregate the costs of detached duty from other expenses claimed by staff without incurring disproportionate cost. In order to increase efficiency of deployment, a nationally co-ordinated detached duty scheme has been operating since October 2013. The tables below contain details of all establishments that have received officers on detached duty and the average weekly provision of staff deployed on detached duty each month. The deployment of prison officers between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing. Deployment outside of the nationally co-ordinated scheme which began in October is not recorded centrally. For this reason, information on the number of establishments and staff using detached duty prior to 21 October 2013 is not available.

The Secretary of State has put in place a ban on all first class rail. An exception to this ban is to support the needs of some disabled staff in carrying out their duties, where it is reasonable to do so, and which exceptionally justify the use of first class rail travel. The table below provides details of spend on first class rail travel for Ministers and officials for the calendar years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. This shows a reduction of £1,589,275, 80%, over the period. <table><tbody><tr><td>Calendar Year</td><td>Spend</td></tr><tr><td>2009*</td><td>£3,989, 713</td></tr><tr><td>2010</td><td>£1,988,205</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>£421,346</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>£352,927</td></tr><tr><td>2013</td><td>£398,930</td></tr></tbody></table>* Spend information is only available for the period April to December 2009 In addition to the reduction in spend on first class rail travel, the total MoJ spend on travel has fallen by more than 40% since 2009, a saving of more than £9 million. The spend on first class rail and air travel in the financial year 2009-10 was £4.4 million.

The Council Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA (The EU PTA) entered into force on 5th December 2011. To date 18 Member States (including the United Kingdom) have implemented the Agreement. The European Court of Justice will have jurisdiction over the measure from 1 December 2014 and Member States may face infraction proceedings if they have not implemented the Agreement by then. Use of the EU PTA is an early stage and the number of prisoners transferred remains low. However, we expect to see a significant increase in the number of prisoner transferred once the Agreement has been implemented by all Member States. To date 17 prisoners have been transferred to other jurisdictions. The table below sets out the number of prisoners transferred from England and Wales to other EU Member States since the implementation of the EU PTA in December 2011. <table><tbody><tr><td>Receiving State</td><td>Year of Transfer</td><td>Sentence Length</td><td>Time left to serve in the United Kingdom on the date of transfer</td><td>Offence Type</td></tr><tr><td>Belgium</td><td>2013</td><td>8 Years</td><td>1016 days</td><td>Wounding with intent</td></tr><tr><td>Belgium</td><td>2013</td><td>5 years, 5 months</td><td>634 days</td><td>Facilitating illegal entry</td></tr><tr><td>Belgium</td><td>2013</td><td>9 Years</td><td>1135 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Latvia</td><td>2013</td><td>10 years</td><td>882 days</td><td>Death by dangerous driving</td></tr><tr><td>Malta</td><td>2013</td><td>6 years</td><td>578 days</td><td>Sexual offences</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>7 years</td><td>1043 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>15 years</td><td>2098 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>10 years</td><td>1189 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>6 years</td><td>544 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>5 years, 3 months</td><td>437 days</td><td>Sex offences</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>6 years, 6 months</td><td>793 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>5 years, 6 months</td><td>608 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>5 years, 6 months</td><td>638 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection</td><td>Not applicable</td><td>Sexual offences</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>4 years, 8 months</td><td>355 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2013</td><td>7 years</td><td>705 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>The Netherlands</td><td>2014</td><td>4 years</td><td>388 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr></tbody></table> The table below sets out the number of British nationals transferred from other EU Member States to England and Wales since the EU PTA entered into force in December 2011. 10 prisoners have been transferred. <table><tbody><tr><td>Sentencing State</td><td>Year of Transfer</td><td>Sentence Length</td><td>Time left to serve in custody following transfer</td><td>Offence Type</td></tr><tr><td>Belgium</td><td>2013</td><td>3 years, 11 months</td><td>415 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Belgium</td><td>2013</td><td>5 years</td><td>476 days</td><td>Human Trafficking</td></tr><tr><td>Belgium</td><td>2013</td><td>8 years</td><td>1195 days</td><td>Sexual Offences</td></tr><tr><td>Denmark</td><td>2012</td><td>14 years</td><td>1324 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Denmark</td><td>2012</td><td>3 years</td><td>146 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Denmark</td><td>2012</td><td>2 years</td><td>124 days</td><td>Fraud</td></tr><tr><td>Italy</td><td>2013</td><td>5 year, 4 months</td><td>974 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Italy</td><td>2013</td><td>9 years, 6 months</td><td>1617 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Italy</td><td>2013</td><td>2 years, 10 months</td><td>267 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr><tr><td>Italy</td><td>2013</td><td>15 years, 4 months</td><td>1847 days</td><td>Drugs</td></tr></tbody></table> *The figures given in the attached tables relate to England and Wales only.

The number of FNOs deported under the Early Removal Scheme (ERS) has increased under this Government. In 2013, we removed nearly 2,000 FNOs under ERS and under the Tariff Expired Removal Scheme (TERS), which we introduced in May 2012, we have removed 237 FNOs to date.Whereas this Government has begun to reduce the foreign national population in prison since 2010, between 1997 and 2010, the number of foreign nationals in our prisons more than doubled.

The information requested is not available centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, the number of activity spaces agreed within each public sector prison establishment's Service Level Agreement for 2013-14 is published at the following location: <a href="http://www.justice.gov.uk/information-access-rights/transparency-data/prison-service-level-agreement-and-probation-trust-contracts" target="_blank">http://www.justice.gov.uk/information-access-rights/transparency-data/prison-service-level-agreement-and-probation-trust-contracts</a>. These documents are a historical record of the public sector prison Service Level Agreements at the point at which they took effect. These agreements remain subject to change, through formal procedures, throughout the year. Work in prisons is a key priority to ensure prisoners are engaged purposefully while they are in custody. It also gives them the opportunity to learn skills and a work ethic which can increase their chances of finding employment on release, a key element to reducing reoffending. Our reforms to the Incentives and Earned Privileges national policy framework came into effect in adult prisons on 1 November 2013. Prisoners will be expected to engage in purposeful activity, as well as demonstrate a commitment towards their rehabilitation, reduce their risk of reoffending, behave well and help others if they are to earn privileges. The number of prisoners working in industrial activity in public sector prisons increased from around 8,600 in 2010-11 to around 9,700 in 2012-13. This delivered an increase in the total hours worked in industrial activities from 10.6 million hours to 13.1 million hours. In addition there are substantial numbers of prisoners who work to keep prisons running on tasks such as cooking, serving meals, maintenance and cleaning.

The Electoral Commission informs me that the confirmation dry run involved matching all entries on the electoral registers against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Customer Information System database. Entries would be marked as green if they matched with DWP, amber if they were a partial match or red if there was no match.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains a central record of the number of cases where the CPS has been asked to make a charging decision and the decision made, either to charge or to take no further action. No record is held as to where an alleged offence was said to have taken place. To obtain details of alleged acts of violence in prisons referred to the CPS for a charging decision would require a manual exercise of reviewing individual case files to be undertaken at a disproportionate cost.

We do not centrally hold information on prior attainment. Work is under way to introduce, this summer, mandatory education assessment by the Offenders' Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) provider for all newly-received prisoners. This will ensure that all offenders, not just those that go on to learning, receive a learning assessment (focused around English and maths, but also covering learning difficulties and disabilities). Table 1 shows Offender Learner English and Maths Achievements for the 2012/13 academic year. The data are broken down by Level rather than Key Stage as this is the appropriate measure for further education qualifications. Table 1: Offender Learners - English and Maths Achievements by level, 2012/13<table><tbody><tr><td>Level</td><td>English</td><td>Maths</td></tr><tr><td>Entry level</td><td>5,100</td><td>5,250</td></tr><tr><td>Level 1</td><td>3,550</td><td>4,020</td></tr><tr><td>Level 2</td><td>1,280</td><td>1,930</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>9,300</td><td>10,100</td></tr></tbody></table>Notes1) The data source is the Individualised Learner Record.2) Volumes are rounded to the nearest ten except for the Grand Totals which are rounded to the nearest hundred.3) Learners undertaking courses at more than one level will be counted once for each applicable level, but once only in the Total. 4) Offender learners are defined as offenders aged 18 or over that participated in Skills Funding Agency funded learning while in the prison system. These offenders were funded via the Offenders' Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) budget. Information on Offender Learner English and maths achievements by level for 2010/11 and 2011/12 is published as a Supplementary Table to a Statistical First Release. Data for earlier years are not available on a comparable basis. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/284253/January2013_OLASS_Participation_Achievement.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/284253/January2013_OLASS_Participation_Achievement.xls</a> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fe-data-library-further-education-and-skills" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fe-data-library-further-education-and-skills</a>

A comprehensive answer cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate cost as the Department does not maintain a single register of all contracted out services. However, the Department does routinely publish details of the ‘Outsourced Programme Managed Services' in its annual resource accounts. These are contracts the Department has placed to manage the delivery of programmes and work to support the Department's objectives.The figures over the financial years in question along with the total programme expenditure for the core Department are as follows:F/Yr OutsourcedService Costs Total Programme Expenditure2013/14 £23.0m £23,566m2012/13 £34.9m £21,077m2011/12 £10.2m £22,373m2010/11 £29.9m £25,734m2009/10 £69.2m £24,610mNote: the total programme expenditure reflects non-administration costs, including payment of grant-in-aid, grants and other disbursements in support of policy initiatives.
