The Government published its future partnership paper on cross-border civil judicial cooperation on 22 August 2017. This set out that an effective framework of civil judicial cooperation is an important part of the deep and special partnership we want to establish with the EU. The Government will therefore seek an agreement with the EU that allows for close and comprehensive cross-border civil judicial cooperation on a reciprocal basis, which reflects closely the substantive principles of cooperation under the current EU framework.<\/p>

<\/p>

The paper also set out our intention to continue participation in those Hague Conventions we currently participate in by virtue of our membership of the EU, and to continue to participate in the Lugano Convention that, by virtue of our membership of the EU, forms the basis for the UK\u2019s civil judicial cooperation with Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.<\/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" : "2017-12-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-04T15:48:18.087Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Civil Proceedings: Jurisdiction"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their response to the call in the report by the House of Lords Justice Sub-Committee of the Select Committee on the EU Brexit: justice for families, individualsĀ and businesses?

We are committed to doing all we can to address the issues around female offending so we can better protect the public and deliver more effective rehabilitation. As part of this process we have assessed where the gaps in provision are for community services and the custodial estate.<\/p>

Considering how we can best address the needs of female offenders, to improve outcomes for them, their families and their communities, is a complex issue that we want to get right.<\/p>

Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) are contractually required to provide services for female offenders that they are managing in the community, and to deliver resettlement services to offenders both before and following release from prison. As part of our reforms to probation, we have given providers the flexibility to innovate, and to tailor rehabilitative support to the particular needs of offenders locally. We have not, therefore, prescribed how much of the additional funding for CRCs must be spent on services for female offenders. Records detailing the specifics of each service available in every individual CRC could only be collated at disproportionate cost, however records detailing the organisations responsible for the provision of these services are available, with the most recent dated July 2017. All 21 CRCs have arrangements in place to address the needs of female offenders. 20 of the 21 CRCs have subcontracting arrangements in place to deliver these services, with Durham Tees Valley CRC providing the service directly. Across these 20 CRCs, there are 47 locally based organisations delivering targeted support for female offenders, addressing their specific needs locally. A further seven small providers deliver services across larger, geographically remote, areas.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

As part of our reforms to probation, we have given providers the flexibility to innovate, and to tailor rehabilitative support to the particular needs of offenders locally. We have not, therefore, prescribed how much of the additional funding for CRCs must be spent on services for female offenders. Records detailing the specifics of each service available in every individual CRC could only be collated at disproportionate cost, however records detailing the organisations responsible for the provision of these services are available, with the most recent dated July 2017. All 21 CRCs have arrangements in place to address the needs of female offenders. 20 of the 21 CRCs have subcontracting arrangements in place to deliver these services, with Durham Tees Valley CRC providing the service directly. Across these 20 CRCs, there are 47 locally based organisations delivering targeted support for female offenders, addressing their specific needs locally. A further seven small providers deliver services across larger, geographically remote, areas.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

We have a robust contract management and assurance process in place for CRCs, and continue to assess their performance through a range of service levels, including their delivery of Through the Gate and how they are addressing the specific needs of female offenders.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3921", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bracknell"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Phillip Lee"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "115915"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-05T15:33:16.78Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Community Rehabilitation Companies: Females"} , "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, pursuant to his oral answer to the Right Honourable Member for Delyn on 31 October 2017, Official Report, column 696), how much of the additional funding allocated to community rehabilitation companies is being spent on specific provision for women.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4120", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kate Green"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stretford and Urmston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kate Green"} ], "uin" : "115916"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Justice&_page=1&max-date=2017-11-27", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 8238, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
