Before a prosecution can take place, there has to be a police investigation. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has no powers to investigate allegations of crime. The war crimes team of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) is responsible for the investigation of all allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and torture. They decide whether an investigation is required and how it should be conducted. SO15 received a request from Rwandan authorities in January 2018 to investigate five individuals in the UK in relation to alleged genocide offences in Rwanda dating from around 1994.

Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) omitted the sentencing remarks from the criminal trial, one of the mandatory documents for each parole dossier, in accordance with the Parole Board Rules. HMPPS implemented fresh and robust checks on every dossier, before the High Court handed down its judgement, to ensure that dossiers are complete for the Parole Board to undertake its consideration of each case.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMPPS has issued guidance to assist report writers in cases where the offences of which an offender has been convicted may not provide to the Parole Board a comprehensive understanding of the offender\u2019s risk.<\/p>

I can provide reassurance that her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service had implemented fresh and robust checks on every dossier, before the High Court handed down its judgement, to ensure that dossiers are complete for the Parole Board to undertake its consideration of each case.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is not usual to include police evidence, or information in respect of civil actions, in the dossier submitted to the Parole Board. 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\u2019 victims brought a successful action against the Metropolitan Police for its failures to properly investigate their complaints.<\/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\u2019s Prison and Probation Service is in the process of issuing new guidance to ensure that this is absolutely clear to those submitting evidence.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4538", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Keen of Elie"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-08T17:01:24.737Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "John Worboys"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they intend to take to address the failure of the Ministry of Justice to include all relevant information in the dossier it provided to the Parole Board in the Worboys case.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4181", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Beecham"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Beecham"} ], "uin" : "HL6860"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/884176", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/884176/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Discipline procedures are central to the maintenance of a safe, decent and rehabilitative custodial environment. They require adjudications to be conducted lawfully, fairly and justly. Only Independent Adjudicators, who are District Judges or Deputy District Judges can, in cases deemed to be sufficiently serious, make an award of additional days. Additional days cannot extend the totality of the sentence imposed by the court but, they will have the effect of extending a person\u2019s custodial time left to serve. The most serious offences are referred to the police.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information on the number of individual prisoners who were subject to punishments for disciplinary misconduct is not routinely extracted from the adjudications database as the primary purpose is to report on the volume of punishments imposed. In order to collect this specific information on prisoners, a matching exercise using prison population and adjudication databases would be required to identify each individual prisoner who was sanctioned under the Prison Rules, as a result of which the data could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Information on the number of occasions additional days were awarded to prisoners between 2011 and 2016 is publicly available and is published as part of the Offender Management Statistics bulletin.<\/p>
<\/p>
Table 1 below provides an extract from the published statistics, outlining the number of occasions additional days were awarded by offence during 2011-2016.<\/p>

Under the Prison Rules, Governors may delegate the conduct of adjudications to any other officer of the prison or Young Offender Institution, who has passed the relevant authorised training course, has suitable operational experience and has been certified by the Governor as competent to carry out adjudication duties.<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> (2) The number of offences refers to the number of adjudications for which one or more punishments may be imposed onto an offender.<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> (3) The number of punishments refers to all proven adjudications and excludes all those that have been dismissed or not proceeded with.<\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> The majority of punishments of added days are for unauthorised transactions, which concern illicit economies within prisons, such as possession and selling of forbidden items. We are working closely with the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to improve the response to crime in prisons and to ensure that wherever possible and appropriate those who commit serious crimes in prison are punished through the courts rather than by the internal disciplinary system. We are also reviewing and sharing best practice from prisons who have built up excellent relationships with their local police forces.<\/p> <\/p> We are also reviewing the Adjudications policy set out in Prison Service Instruction 47/2011 as part of our ongoing Prison Reform Programme. The review incorporates a study to examine the impact of disciplinary adjudication punishments on custodial misconduct and provide a better understanding of \u2018what works\u2019 in terms of behaviour change.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
