Data for the numbers of assaults and serious assaults in each prison, broken down by type of weapon and type of injury, is set out in the attached tables. The figures are presented by calendar year rather than by quarter. This is because analysis at the level of detail requested produces many results of 5 or fewer. Disclosure-proofing to reduce the risk of identification, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, requires such low numbers to be suppressed. Even at the annual level, some such values have had to be suppressed.<\/p>

The Government is taking unprecedented action to improve safety in prisons. We have recruited over 4,700 more prison officers since October 2016, and we now have the greatest number in post since early 2012. The Challenge, Support and Intervention Plan case management process for prisoners at risk of violence has been mandated for all prisons to help staff to manage violent prisoners and those identified as posing a raised risk of being violent.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are investing an extra £70 million to improve safety, security and decency, and equipping officers with PAVA incapacitant spray and body-worn cameras to help prevent serious harm to staff and prisoners when dealing with violent incidents. We are improving perimeter security and introducing new x-ray scanners, drug-detection dogs and dedicated search teams to address the supply of drugs that we know are fuelling much of the violence in custody.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "attachment" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123082/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Copy of PQ 247719-20 Imran Hussain MP table 1 weapons.xlsx"} , "title" : "Table 1"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123082/answer/attachment/2", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Copy of PQ 247719-20 Imran Hussain MP table 2 serious injuries.xlsx"} , "title" : "Table 2"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123082/answer/attachment/3", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Copy of PQ 247719-20 Imran Hussain MP table 3 minor injuries.xlsx"} , "title" : "Table 3"} ], "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123082/answer/previousversion/125923", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-28T15:17:52.03Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2019-07-03T12:20:42.437Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisons: Crimes of Violence"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many (a) assaults and (b) serious assaults on staff were recorded in each prison in each quarter from 2010 to 2018 by the type of weapon used.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4394", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Imran Hussain"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bradford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Imran Hussain"} ], "uin" : "247719"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/982543", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/982543/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department produces statistics on the estimated percentage of new residential addresses created in National Flood Zone 3. Those for England for each year from 2013-14 to 2016-17 period are given in attachedTable 1.<\/p>
Figures for the estimated proportion of dwellings built in England within flood risk areas for years before 2013-14 are given in attached Table 2, these figures are not directly comparable with the latest figures due to an update to the statistics production methodology. To put these figures in context. The total number of new build completions for the last five financial years for which figures are currently available are given in attached Table 3.<\/p>
The revised National Planning Policy Framework clarified the strong planning safeguards against flood risk that are in place. to remove uncertainty and help ensure they are properly implemented. The Framework is clear that local planning authorities should consider the strict tests in national planning policy that protect people and property from flooding, and where these tests are not met, development should not be allowed.<\/p>
Where development in flood risk areas is necessary, national planning policy is clear that it should be safe, resilient and not increase flood risk elsewhere.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4282", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth"} , "attachment" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947635/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "180807 Three associated table1 - HL9893.xlsx"} , "title" : "Table 1"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947635/answer/attachment/2", "fileName" : {"_value" : "180807 Three associated tables -2 - HL9893.xlsx"} , "title" : "Table 2"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/947635/answer/attachment/3", "fileName" : {"_value" : "180807associated table -3 - HL9893.xlsx"} , "title" : "table 3"} ], "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-08-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-08-07T12:09:57.977Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Housing: Construction"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of new homes built in areas of high flood risk in England in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4176", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Shipley"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Shipley"} ], "uin" : "HL9893"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/860736", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/860736/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
