The Incentives Policy Framework aims to achieve a fair and effective Incentives Scheme within prisons.<\/p>
Governors are required to operate prisoner forums to review their local Incentives Scheme. The Incentives Policy Framework outlines that these forums should include staff and prisoners from a range of backgrounds and should aim to include representation from people with all protected characteristics which are present in the local prison. Each forum must be informed of evidence that identifies key incentive data regarding outcomes and any apparent disproportionality.<\/p>
Where data indicates a disproportionate outcome for prisoners of a certain protected characteristic, Governors must take steps to investigate and explain why these discrepancies exist at a local level. They must then set out what reforms or actions will be taken to address the disproportionality with a time-bound action plan.<\/p>"}

Discussions between Ministry Of Defence (MOD) and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) are continuing regarding the transfer of maintenance responsibility for the graves of military personnel buried in the UK since 1948.<\/p>
Annual costs for the maintenance of each grave for which MOD is responsible are estimated to be between £65 and £205 depending on the location and condition of the grave. The MOD\u2019s annual grant to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in respect of the graves they maintain is in excess of £47 million.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1544", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Milton Keynes North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mark Lancaster"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-11-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "14257"} , {"_value" : "14258"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-11-04T15:59:21.943Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "War Graves"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make it his policy to transfer responsibility for military graves maintained by his Department to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/151", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tom Brake"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Carshalton and Wallington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tom Brake"} ], "uin" : "14259"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 2, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
