answer text <p>So far c.5,400 places have been delivered. This includes two new c.1,700 place prisons, HMP Five Wells, which opened last year, and HMP Fosse Way, which accepted its first prisoners at the end of May. At least 6,400 prison places are anticipated to be delivered by the end of May 2024, rising to over 8,000 by the end of May 2025, including places already delivered to date. In addition to these places, we have extended the lease at HMP Dartmoor, maintaining 680 places from December 2023.</p><p>Our prison builds are complex capital projects, which are being delivered within challenging market conditions. Securing planning permission is a significant factor in timelines; we have submitted planning appeals following refusal of three applications for sites in Lancashire, Leicestershire, and Buckinghamshire and await decisions. Given the planning appeals are ongoing and subject to a recovered decision by DLUHC, it would not be appropriate to comment further. If planning is successful, these prisons would open as soon as possible to meet the pressing demand on prison places.</p><p>We will push for earlier delivery of places wherever possible, and we are continuing to press ahead with further options to delivery capacity across the estate.</p>

answer text <p>We recently published a process evaluation of the implementation of the pre-recorded cross-examination special measure (also known as section 28) for complainants of sexual and modern slavery offences on gov.uk. This was a qualitative evaluation which explored witness and practitioner views and experiences of section 28 to understand whether the provision was working as intended.</p><p>Ministry of Justice analysts are currently scoping an impact analysis of section 28 which will give us further qualitative data on if the measure influences the outcomes and delivery in these cases or impacts on the functioning of the courts overall.</p><p>The Ministry of Justice currently holds limited quantitative data on the use of special measures in rape cases, however we expect this to improve following the rollout of the Common Platform, a digital case management system which will be able to record special measure applications. As such we are currently unable to publish data on the number or proportion of rape cases that used special measures. However, on the criminal justice delivery dashboard we have published data which shows 433 witnesses in adult rape cases gave evidence using section 28 between January 2021 and December 2022.</p>
