uin	HL6846
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>Addressing the threat from Russia to European security is the most pressing security and foreign policy priority in the short to medium term. China poses an epoch-defining and systemic challenge. We are therefore concerned by the deepening strategic partnership between China and Russia and the implications for an open and stable international order. Putin's war in Ukraine is a breach of international law, a violation of the UN Charter, and was condemned by an overwhelming majority of 141 member nations in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution on 23 February 2023 - a resolution we were disappointed China chose to abstain on. As a P5 member, we expect China to stand up for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and uphold its commitment to the principles of UN Charter - principles that underpin Zelenskyy's peace plan.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2023 08:25:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>Please see the attached table showing the rates of self-harm by prisoners under Imprisonment for Public Protection<sup>1,2,3,4,5 </sup> for the last five years that data is available.</p><p> </p><p>The numbers used to derive the rates of self-harm for this PQ are published. The quarterly population figures are taken from the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publication and then averaged across the calendar year. The self-harm incidents are taken from the annual self-harm in prison custody tables from the Safety in Custody Quarterly publication. The rates are calculated using these figures, and the methodology described in footnote 5 below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Imprisonment for public protection (IPP)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2020</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2021</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Self-harm incidents per 1,000 prisoners</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>895.0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1129.5</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1271.2</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1095.5</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1108.0</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>(1) Figures include incidents during contracted out escorts. Figures do not include incidents at Medway STC.</p><p>(2) In prisons, as in the community, it is not possible to count self-harm incidents with absolute accuracy. In prison custody, however, such incidents are more likely to be detected and counted. Care needs to be taken when comparing figures shown here with other sources where data may be less complete.</p><p>(3) A new sentence - Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) - was introduced in 2005.</p><p>(4) The definition of IPP prisoners included in this analysis only includes unreleased prisoners. IPP prisoners who have been recalled to prison after a release are not included.</p><p>(5) Self-harm incident rates are derived by 1,000 x (number of incidents in year)/(average population for year). Prison population figures are from the Offender Management Statistics quarterly bulletin and are averaged across the four quarterly population figures for each year.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 12/04/2023 14:25:44 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy attachment 1 file name 2023-04-12 HL6854_final.xlsx title Table
