answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2014 answer text <p>Increasing the number of rape convictions continues to be a priority in the criminal justice system. On 6 June 2014, a Rape Action Plan was jointly published by the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which sets out a series of actions designed to improve the criminal justice response in rape cases. This followed a Rape National Scrutiny Panel led by the Director of Public Prosecutions and the National Policing lead for rape, which considered the investigation and prosecution of rape cases including their referral from the police to the CPS. The Action plan can be found on the CPS website at; <a href="http://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/equality/vaw/rape_action_plan.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/equality/vaw/rape_action_plan.pdf</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Oliver Heald question first answered 19/06/2014 15:39:55 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

Although the Secure College will be fundamentally different from a Young Offender's Institution, we are making use of the previous work where relevant.</p><p> </p><p>The plans drawn up in 2009 were focused on delivering facilities specifically designed for young people, albeit a different cohort. It is therefore inevitable there will be similarities between the design solutions. However, present designs are fully reflective of the broader cohort a Secure College could take and the accommodation has been configured accordingly to ensure their safety and well being.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 16/06/2014 16:49:23 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
