answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>HMPPS has been working closely with the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to ensure they understand the impact of crimes committed within prison. HMPPS published the revised Crime in Prison Referral Agreement in May 2019. This Agreement sets out how crimes in prison will be referred, investigated and prosecuted and aims to provide a more consistent approach to managing crimes committed within prison. The Crime in Prison Referral Agreement specifies that all assaults against members of staff, unless there is little or no injury should be referred to the police.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to identify the proportion of assaults on prison staff has been charged as an offence in each of the last five years as this information is not held centrally. Detailed information may be held on court record but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 23/10/2019 16:40:21 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government publishes quarterly statistics on violence in prison, and a more detailed annual breakdown, and both are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/safety-in-custody-quarterly-update-to-march-2019. The relevant link is ‘Assaults in prison custody 2000 to 2018’ and the information can be found in table 3.1: Prison assaults summary statistics by calendar year, England and Wales, 2000-2018.</p><p> </p><p>There are clear challenges at many of our prisons, with levels of violence unacceptably high.</p><p> </p><p>That’s why we are investing £100m to bolster security and stability in prisons, in addition to £70 million announced previously. This will fund tough airport-style security, including X-ray scanners and metal detectors to clamp down on the drugs, weapons and mobile phones that increase the risk to our officers and hinder rehabilitation.</p><p> </p><p>It will take time for improvements to be seen across the estate but we remain determined to make progress and will continue to prioritise this important work.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 290639 question first answered 30/09/2019 16:57:11 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
