Written Answers
Department for Education: Finance Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Monday 29th April 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government which organisations (1) receiving funding through the Department for Education, or (2) holding contracts related to the work of the Department, between 1 January and 22 April have been notified of either (a) a reduction in, or (b) the cancellation of, their funding, broken down by category; which of those organisations will have funding withdrawn (i) in the current financial year, or (ii) over the next two financial years; and what is the total amount that will be withdrawn for such organisations over those periods. Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The information is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
Prison Sentences Asked by: Lord Blunkett (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 25th April 2024 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government what specific budget is allocated for the implementation of the current Imprisonment for Public Protection action plan. Answered by Lord Bellamy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) HM Prison and Probation Service is using existing resources to deliver the requirements of the IPP Action Plan, ensuring that it is used to best effect to support those serving IPP sentences to achieve their sentence plan objectives and reduce their risks. HMPPS does not allocate funding in such a way as it would be possible to disaggregate specific amounts dedicated to sentence planning, offender management and support for IPP offenders. Unto that end, the Action Plan focuses on ensuring offenders can access the required services or interventions in order to take positive steps towards a future release, a sustainable life in the community and, ultimately, the end of their sentence altogether. Further, when it comes to those serving the IPP sentence in prison, the Action Plan requires that they have an up to date sentence plan and are held in a prison which provides the intervention(s) specified in the sentence plan. It is expected that the latest IPP Annual Report and Action Plan will be published in mid-May. We have taken significant action through the Victims and Prisoners Bill to curtail IPP licence periods to give offenders the opportunity to move on with their lives. In addition to these changes, the actions this Government is taking are working; the number of prisoners serving the IPP sentence who have never been released now stands at 1,180 as of 31 March 2024, down from more than 6,000 in 2012.
