The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport has not received any representations from local authorities regarding barriers to removing telephone boxes.<\/p>
<\/p>
Under its Universal Service obligations, BT must provide public call boxes which sufficiently meet the needs of consumers. Before BT can remove the last public call box from a site (defined as any area within a walking distance of 400 metres from that public call box), it must follow the process set out in the Direction<\/a>s<\/a> and Guidance<\/a> published by Ofcom. The relevant local authority must be consulted and, if it can show why a particular uneconomic payphone should be retained, it can exercise the \u2018local veto'. This will result in the payphone being retained.<\/p> <\/p> Local councils can also ask BT to remove a particular box. Assuming BT agrees to the request, if there are other boxes within 400 metres, the box can be removed without consultation; if not, BT would need to follow the process above.<\/p> <\/p> These procedures ensure a process for the removal of uneconomic phone boxes, balanced with appropriate safeguards against the removal of phone boxes where they still serve a community need.<\/p>"}

By subtracting the average hours unlocked from the 24 hours in a day it is possible to estimate hours spent locked in cell. Figures for each prison establishment for the three years from 2009-10 to 2011-12 have been placed in the library of the House.<\/p> <\/p> It should be noted that time in cell includes hours when prisoners are asleep. Time unlocked includes time where a prisoner is either out of their cell or where the cell door is unlocked allowing them to move freely in and out of the cell.<\/p> <\/p> Figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing. Figures for time in cell for the years 2012-13 and 2013-14 could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.<\/p> <\/p> Work in prisons is a key priority to ensure prisoners are engaged purposefully whilst 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.<\/p> <\/p> The number of prisoners working in industrial activity across public sector prisons increased from around 8,600 in 2010-11 (the first year for which figures are available) 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. Private sector prisons have also been supporting this agenda and have reported that they delivered over 1½ million prisoner working hours in commercial and industrial workshops in 2012-13 which provided work for over 1,200 prisoners. In addition there are substantial numbers of prisoners who work to keep prisons running on tasks such as cooking, serving meals, maintenance and cleaning.<\/p> <\/p>
