question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 8 November (HL2955), what criteria they used to decide which privy councillors would be given ex officio status and were therefore invited to attend the Accession Council on the 10 September.
tabling member printed	Lord Blunkett
uin	HL3308
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2022 answer text <p>The criteria for ex-officio eligibility to attend the Accession Council was based primarily on whether Privy Counsellors were serving in a senior parliamentary, judicial or Church post at the time of Demise. This was the most practical way to reflect the fact that the role of the Privy Council is to advise on the exercise of prerogative powers and certain functions assigned to The King and the Council by Act of Parliament.</p><p>There are over 720 Privy Counsellors but only those currently serving in senior parliamentary, judicial and Church roles play an active role in Privy Council business. The majority of Privy Counsellors have no active involvement in Privy Council business; some Counsellors have not been actively involved in Privy Council business for decades.</p><p>Additional criteria used to determine ex-officio eligibility included:</p><p><strong> </strong></p><ol><li><p>Privy Counsellors who were senior, full-time Members of the Royal Household at the time of Demise.</p></li><li><p>Former office holders who had a close working relationship with the Sovereign (former Prime Ministers, Archbishops and Lord Presidents).</p></li><li><p>Former opposition leaders (representing Privy Counsellors from all political parties who no longer have an active role in Privy Council business).</p></li></ol><p><strong><p><p></strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 16/11/2022 12:07:36 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the finding in the HM Inspectorate and Probation report Offender Management in Custody, published on 2 November, that only 25 per cent of keywork sessions were delivered against the prescribed model in May, what is the current rate of the delivery of keywork sessions in each of the prisons where staff have been authorised to carry PAVA spray.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradley
uin	HL3309
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2022 answer text <p>HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) has been rolling out PAVA incapacitant spray to all band 3-5 staff in the adult closed male estate and this is still under way. Staff require appropriate training to use PAVA and only prisons that have implemented the key work scheme – which is vital in building relationships between offenders and staff – will receive it.</p><p>The figures for delivery of key work quoted in the joint inspection report are the latest currently available.</p><p>Key work remains a priority for HMPPS, however, and has an important role in supporting improvements to prisons safety, reducing the risk of harm and re-offending and promoting community reintegration.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 21/11/2022 16:30:57 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
