answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State and the prisoner are able to submit expert reports to the Parole Board, who assess the evidence presented before them in order to determine whether the prisoner may safely be released. The Board has the power to direct the reports and evidence it considers necessary to reach that decision and can direct any report-writer to give oral evidence and answer questions from the panel if necessary. In some complex cases, a specialist psychologist or psychiatric panel member may be assigned. The Parole Board does not commission additional, independent reports.</p><p> </p><p>In April this year, the Secretary of State announced a review of the Parole Board Rules, which will build on the work we have already done to increase transparency and ensure victims are better supported. The conclusions of this review, including an assessment what evidence should be presented to the Board, will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 18/12/2018 17:58:31 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>Further to my written statement on 29 November, the Government is committed to building up to 10,000 modern, safe and decent prison places to replace old, expensive and unsuitable accommodation so that Governors can achieve better educational, training and rehabilitative outcomes. As I set out in my answer to PQ 199900, there are a variety of factors that inform decisions to classify prison accommodation as being unsuitable. These include physical condition, age, cost of maintenance and/or operation, strategic fit with demand and needs of the prisoner population, rehabilitative suitability, access to services and the number of hours a prisoner would spend in their cell. No decisions have been made about any future prison closures. Construction of the first two new build resettlement prisons at Wellingborough and then Glen Parva is expected to begin in late 2018 and late 2019, with completion planned for early 2021 and 2022 respectively. We continue to focus on safety and decency in the prison estate. Last July, the Justice Secretary announced an investment of £30 million in prisons to enhance safety, security and decency across the estate. This includes a £16m investment in improving the fabric of prisons, targeting those with the most pressing maintenance issues so that we can start bringing them back up to acceptable standards. As announced in the 2018 Budget, an additional £30 million will be spent on prisons this financial year on top of the £30 million announced in July. This will go towards further improvements to safety, security and decency on top of those already announced.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart grouped question UIN 200145 200146 question first answered 12/12/2018 17:01:29 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
