These prisons are also part of the 10 Prisons Project which aims to reduce violence in 10 of our most challenging prisons by reducing the supply of drugs; restoring basic decency and providing the training and support for prison officers to challenge the behaviour that drives violence. The project received an initial £10 million funding to improve security and decency, and bolster leadership capability over a 12-month period.<\/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"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "257409"} , {"_value" : "257629"} , {"_value" : "257630"} , {"_value" : "258895"} , {"_value" : "258896"} , {"_value" : "258899"} , {"_value" : "258900"} , {"_value" : "258906"} , {"_value" : "258907"} , {"_value" : "258913"} , {"_value" : "258914"} , {"_value" : "258920"} , {"_value" : "258921"} , {"_value" : "258922"} , {"_value" : "258923"} , {"_value" : "258930"} , {"_value" : "258931"} , {"_value" : "258932"} , {"_value" : "258933"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1128411/answer/previousversion/121560", "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" : "2019-06-17T16:44:59.223Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Wormwood Scrubs Prison: Drugs"} , "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, on how many occasions illegal drugs were found at HMP Wormwood Scrubs in each of the last 12 months.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/152", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Iain Duncan Smith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chingford and Woodford Green"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Iain Duncan Smith"} ], "uin" : "257410"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?date=2019-05-22&_page=1&min-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-06-17T16%3A44%3A59.223Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 10, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
