answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>Public protection is our priority. The decision to recall on offender on licensed supervision is taken on the professional advice of senior probation staff following consideration of safe alternatives to recall. Recalled individuals will remain in prison for only as long as necessary to protect the public.</p><p>HM Chief Inspector of Probation’s thematic review on Probation Recall Culture &amp; Practice, published in 2020 following the case of Joseph McCann, found that “…public protection and the protection of victims are central to probation service decision-making on recall…alternatives to recall are routinely considered where appropriate, but this does not compromise the focus of decision-making on public protection.”</p><p>The Chief Inspector is currently undertaking a thematic review of recalls of offenders serving a sentence of imprisonment for public protection (IPP). We expect to receive the report in early 2024 and will consider its findings very carefully.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 24/10/2023 16:44:13 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>Zero hours contracts are an important part of the UK’s flexible labour market. They are useful where there is not a constant demand for staff, allowing flexibility for both employers and individuals.</p><p> </p><p>Individuals on zero hours contracts represent a very small proportion of the workforce. The ONS publishes quarterly data on the number of individuals in work on zero hours contracts in the UK. The ONS estimates that between April – June 2023, 3.6% of people aged 16 or over in employment in the UK were on a zero hours contract.
