answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2022 answer text <p>Suspended Sentence Orders cannot legally be extended beyond the length of the operational period of the order which is set by the judiciary.</p><p>Therefore, a Suspended Sentence Order ceases the moment the operational period expires, regardless of any outstanding requirements such as unpaid work.</p><p>It is important to note that these hours have not been “cancelled” but due to the legal limitations of a Suspended Sentence Order, the Probation Service is unable to apply for an extension in order to work hours once the operational period has expired.</p><p>While the number of unworked hours decreased between 2017 and 2019, the increase in 2020 and 2021 was the result of challenges caused by COVID-19 and restrictions imposed by public health legislation which meant either stopping delivery altogether, or running a severely restricted service.</p><p>When COVID-19 restrictions were sufficiently lifted to enable some Community Payback hours to be worked, the Probation Service prioritised working offenders on Suspended Sentence Orders given the legal limits of the order.</p><p>We remain committed to driving down the number of unworked hours. This is why, in response to the disruptions caused by COVID-19, we have invested £93million to hire 500 additional staff so that we boost the number of hours offenders spend doing tough Community Payback, such as cleaning up public places, by nearly two thirds – from five million to up to eight million hours a year.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Hours remaining on Expired Suspended Sentence Orders</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>167,070.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>143,262.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>91,588.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>171,124.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>386,845.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data as at 5/7/22.</p><p>Data are sourced from nDelius and while these data have been assured as much as practical, as with any large administrative dataset, the data should not be assumed to be accurate to the last value presented.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 11/07/2022 08:53:31 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2022 answer text <p>It is vital that the work offenders undertake as part of their Community Payback benefits local people and places.</p><p>As such, we actively encourage members of the public to nominate Community Payback projects via the Gov.uk website.</p><p>In response to PQ 25868 we provided a breakdown of all nominations received via the Gov.uk page under both CRCs and the unified Probation Service since September 2019.</p><p>Prior to unification of the Probation Service in June 2021, Community Payback was delivered by Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) who had their own processes for capturing public nominations. CRC contracts did not require them to report on these processes. However, under CRCs the public could also nominate projects via the Gov.uk website and we provided this data in response to PQ 25868, dating back to September 2019. There is no data prior to September 2019.</p><p>The Gov.uk process operates at a regional level and does not allow us to map nominations on to local authority or Probation Delivery Unit areas.</p><p>Local Community Payback teams work closely with local authorities, Community Safety Partnerships and Police and Crime Commissioners to identify and deliver constructive projects that respond to the needs of communities.</p><p>We are working to improve our data collection post-unification as part of wider reforms to Community Payback.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 11/07/2022 08:58:07 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

In meeting net zero, the UK’s use of both these fuels is set to reduce significantly.</p><p> </p><p>The production of natural gas from the UK Continental Shelf creates under half the greenhouse gas of imported Liquefied Natural Gas. Turning off the UK’s domestic source of oil and gas now would put energy security and British jobs and industries at risk.
