answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost as central records are not kept for all aspects of the management of prisoners sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP).</p><p> </p><p>HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and the Parole Board will continue to work together to improve the progression of IPP prisoners. This group continue to achieve release in high numbers, with 576 first time IPP releases in 2016, the highest figure since the sentence was introduced.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS will continue to invest in interventions to assist prisoners to both reduce their risk and demonstrate such progression to the Parole Board. However, it is important to remember that it is not mandatory for IPPs to complete accredited offending behaviour programmes in order to achieve release. Completing an accredited offending behaviour programme is one way in which IPP prisoners may demonstrate that they have reduced their risk of harm and reoffending; other options may include work and employment, education and one to one work with psychologists or prison offender supervisors.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 18/07/2017 16:25:18 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government has not set a date for the permanent rehousing of those who lost their homes, but we are working rapidly to find permanent housing as soon as possible.

The Prime Minister said clearly in her statement on 22 June that families who lost their homes as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire will be guaranteed a new home on the same terms as the one they lost. We are working closely with the families to ensure the properties made available will match what they want.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 20/07/2017 16:38:03 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

It is for the building owner to consider whether to remove cladding. They should take expert professional advice on this. Removal of cladding needs to be done safely and without compromising other aspects of the building’s external wall system.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/07/2017 13:53:05 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
