answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The guidance document published by HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS) explains that remission applications will be processed within five working days of the date that they are received, and that appeals will be determined within 10 days. The latest available information collated by HMCTS staff indicates that the applications received in respect of employment tribunal matters are currently determined within three working days. Appeals in respect of employment tribunal remissions decisions are currently determined within nine days.</p><p> </p><p>However, data on the time taken for each one of the remission applications determined so far is not readily available. To obtain that data would require significant work to interrogate the relevant HMCTS case management database. This work, if undertaken for the purposes of answering this question, would incur disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 30/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara previous answer version 8000 answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2014 answer text <p>In instances where prisoners are removed from normal location they are not left in isolation for extended periods of time and are never, therefore, held in conditions of solitary confinement.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners may, be held in segregation for reasons of good order and discipline or for their own protection. They may also be segregated to await adjudication or as a punishment of cellular confinement for offences against prison discipline. Prisoners are only segregated where it is proportionate to the risk posed by or to the prisoner in question and where there are no practical alternatives. Segregation is only in circumstances that are lawful, safe and decent.</p><p> </p><p>Figures for the number of prisoners held in segregation during the period specified are not recorded centrally and could only be provided by collating the relevant information from records held at (a) Lincoln prison and (b) all prisons. In either case this could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 30/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright previous answer version 7998 answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, under the Government's Transforming Rehabilitation proposals, what the outcome would be if one of the tier one providers in the Community Rehabilitation Companies under Transforming Rehabilitation was to (a) go into receivership and (b) be taken over by another organisation which failed to meet the Government's suitability criteria.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2014 answer text <p>We have a robust and diverse market. During the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) stage of the competition, we tested providers rigorously against a number of criteria, including Economic and Financial Standing, to determine Potential Bidders' ability to fund a proposed contract. In mid December 2013, the bidders who passed this eligibility test were announced. The list includes a mix of private and voluntary sector partnerships with more than 50 organisations represented – from charities experienced in tackling a range of issues affecting offenders, to small and large British businesses and experienced multinationals. All of these Tier One bidders have experience in working with offenders or across the wider Criminal Justice System.</p><p> </p><p>We do not anticipate supplier failure, butcontracts will have the full range of remedies in the case of failure; up to and including contract termination in the case of insolvency, default or persistent breach. NOMS will be able to exercise step–in rights, for example in the case of a breach that materially affects the performance or services, and the NPS will ensure we retain this expertise in the public sector. The contract allows for discussions with another CRC provider to be brought in as provider of last resort in the event that the initial provider fails. No change of ownership may occur without the prior written consent of the Authority, and we would exercise those rights to ensure our stringent suitability criteria are met before the initial provider was taken over.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 30/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright previous answer version 8003 answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
