answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>All prison accommodation has access to either in-cell sanitation (a toilet and wash basin installed in the cell) or toilet facilities accessed through the following means:</p><p>• Open Access – some prisoners, including those housed in open conditions, are not locked in their cells and therefore are able to use central facilities at all times;<br>• Electric Unlocking - cell doors are opened electronically to release prisoners one at a time. When out of their cell, prisoners have access to a restricted area that includes the toilet facility; or<br>• Manual Unlocking – staff are deployed to unlock prisoners to use toilet facilities. This is only used as a contingency measure.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 19/09/2017 12:59:46 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2016 answer text <p>• Whilst a digital facial image can be used to help identify individuals to a high degree of probability, this is dependent on (a) quality of the biometric and (b) quality of the algorithm, which is rapidly developing in this area. There are no common standards for digital facial images, but we generally use ICAO standards for passport and immigration purposes. We will publish a Biometrics Strategy covering our use of digital facial images in due course.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL1215 question first answered 29/07/2016 12:23:17 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government which prisons received the highest (1) number and (2) proportion of detached duty staff from another prison in each month of 2015.
tabling member printed	Lord Falconer of Thoroton
uin	HL1216
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>The deployment of staff between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing. It allows staff to be allocated from prisons with the capacity to provide them, to those where additional staffing is required. A large proportion of the capacity is typically available from prisons that are in the process of closure or going through a re-role.</p><p> </p><p>The average weekly provision of staff that were received and contributed as part of the nationally co-ordinated detached duty scheme across public sector prisons are shown in the tables below. The information covers the period January to March 2015, which coincides with the latest published prison staffing data.</p><p> </p><p>On average over the three month period (January to March 2013), less than 1% of staff were provided on detached duty.</p><p> </p><p>The absolute amount of detached duty staffing contribution received by each establishment can be found in table 1 below. The establishment that received the highest proportion of staffing on detached duty in January and February 2015 was Elmley, where 2% and 7% of officer staffing in the prison was provided by detached duty in each month respectively. In March the highest proportion of officer staffing contributed by detached duty was at Aylesbury with 12% of the total.</p><p> </p><p>All figures are rounded to the nearest 10, with numbers ending in 5 rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. Rounding to 10 accurately depicts the level of certainty that is held with these figures. Values of 5 or fewer are denoted as ‘~’</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1.
