The Government is working closely with international partners to degrade Houthi capabilities and deter them from carrying out further attacks.</p><p> </p><p>My Department is working closely with other government departments to monitor the impacts of these events. Ships can reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, and many shipping operators are choosing to do so. This has added additional time and distance to vessel journeys, which may cause some initial delays to ship arrivals at British ports. Ship operators now have mitigations in place to adjust to the changed routings, and shipping schedules are stabilising with regular services and supply of goods continuing.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 14/02/2024 10:29:29 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

uin	13293
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2024 answer text <p>The Prison Rules in England and Wales provide that a prisoner may be allowed to leave prison for short periods on temporary licence (ROTL). The main purpose of ROTL is to aid resettlement and suitable, risk assessed prisoners may be allowed out during the day to, for example, work, attend college, attend an interview or maintain/re-establish links with their family. They are also, once at the required stage of their sentence, allowed to apply for temporary release overnight for a maximum of four consecutive nights a month.</p><p>Eligibility for temporary release is not restricted by seriousness of offence. The decision to allow temporary release is taken by the prison governor, on behalf of the Secretary of State, who must always balance the needs of the prisoner and the purpose of the ROTL applied for, against the need to maintain public safety and the public’s confidence in the criminal justice system. Each decision is taken on a case-by-case basis to safeguard the public. Any breaches can result in more time behind bars.</p><p>Category A prisoners, remand prisoners, and prisoners subject to extradition proceedings are not eligible for ROTL under any circumstances.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 14/02/2024 13:47:41 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
