answer text <p /> <p>The First-tier Tribunal - Social Security and Child Support (SSCS), administered by HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS), hears appeals against Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) decisions on a range of benefits, including Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).</p><p> </p><p>Claimants can appeal to the Tribunal against elements of an ESA award, such as a decision on the rate of entitlement, as well as a decision to refuse ESA. HMCTS does not record data specifically relating to appeals against the refusal of ESA and so does not hold the information requested.</p><p> </p><p>Information on all appeals against ESA decisions is published by the Ministry of Justice in the Tribunal Statistics Quarterly. The most recent report, for the period October to December 2014, published on 12 March 2015, can be viewed at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tribunal-and-gender-recognition-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2014.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government is committed to reducing the supply of drugs into prison. The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) already deploys a comprehensive range of robust searching and security measures to detect items of contraband both at the point of entry to the prison and concealed within the prison. We will continue to explore new methods of preventing drugs coming into prisons and new generation body scanners are seen as a valuable part of this.</p><p> </p><p>The first machine has been purchased and will be installed in a prison during April 2015. There will be a programme of work, led by NOMS, to assess the most effective way to deploy body scanners across the estate, based on experience of their use in an operational setting. NOMS will be supported in this by the Centre for Applied Science and Technology.</p><p> </p><p>The initial assessment will also provide valuable information for the subsequent tendering exercise. The precise costs of the wider programme will depend on the initial assessment and on the procurement exercise which will be undertaken to ensure that best value for money is obtained.</p>

answer text <p /> <p>Statistics on offenders recalled and returned to custody are published quarterly in the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly (OMSQ) bulletin. In accordance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics dates for future releases of this bulletin have been pre-announced in the Department’s statistical publication schedule. This is available online at:</p><p><a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice/about/statistics" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice/about/statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice/about/statistics</a></p><p> </p><p>As part of the latest release of OMSQ, my Department published a consultation document and set of statistical tables proposing how this information on recalls could be presented in the future. These new tables aim to ensure that the changes this Government’s Transforming Rehabilitation programme have made in this area can be monitored. These documents are available online at the link below:</p><p><a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2014" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2014</a></p><p> </p><p>The proposed set of statistical tables do not currently include a separate breakdown for recalls by Community Rehabilitation Companies activated during the licence period and supervision period. I have asked my officials to consider this request, alongside other consultation responses, as they develop the final tables that will be included with the next edition of Offender Management Statistics Quarterly which is due to be published on 30 April 2015.</p>

answer text <p>Foreign national offenders who have no right to remain in the UK should be removed at the earliest opportunity and the Government has toughened the system, including pursuing compulsory transfer agreements with European countries.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, 23,000 foreign offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010 and more than 600 under the 'deport first, appeal later' provisions, with many more being processed through the system.

It also provides a breakdown to indicate whether the offender was a foreign national, a UK national, or nationality not recorded.
