answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Youth Justice Board (YJB) is responsible for placing young people remanded or sentenced to custody in accordance with individual needs. The YJB recently announced that, reflecting the continued falls in the number of young people in custody, from April 2014 it would be reducing the number of beds it purchases in the Secure Children's Home sector.</p><p>As the YJB is not invoiced for escorts to Secure Children's Homes on a regional basis, the YJB does not hold data on the costs of escorts for young people from London and the South East being transported to Secure Children's Homes in other regions. Invoice information also does not separate out the costs of escorts to Secure Children's Homes and Secure Training Centres which are delivered under the same contract. Although the YJB does hold data on where young people have been collected from, and transported to, this information is not routinely collated and to calculate the cost of individual journeys to Secure Children's Homes could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 03/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2020 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service understands that attending court is often an intimidating experience for all victims of crime, including victims of domestic abuse. The Crown Prosecution Service is committed to treating all victims and witnesses at court with respect and sensitivity. Victims of domestic abuse are encouraged to take part in pre-trial familiarisation visits, which can help them understand what will happen when they attend court. Additionally, the Speaking to Witnesses at Court guidance commits the prosecutor to meet the victim before they give their evidence to explain court processes and procedures and answer questions the victim may have.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 23/01/2020 13:26:51 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
