"The right hon. Lady is absolutely right about there being scope for data-matching images, and there is some nice work being done on technologies for hashing an image so that it can be identified, but it will be harder than in the case of child abuse images.

Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat - Cambridge)
Question
to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prison officer grade staff were employed in each private sector prison in (a) March and (b) June 2014.
Answered by Andrew Selous
The Ministry of Justice and National Offender Management Service do not hold this staffing information on prisons run by private contractors. However, the private contractors have been contacted with a request for this information. I do not have this at the current time, but when I do receive it, I will write to you again with further information.
It is a basic expectation of all prisons that they manage their staffing levels so that they are safe and able to provide appropriate custodial and other services.

Question
to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will establish a fund to enable longer-term support for people who were abused as children.
Answered by Mike Penning
The Ministry of Justice provides £4.4million each year to rape support centres. These centres provide independent, specialist help and support to women and girls over the age of thirteen who have been victims of recent and historic rape or sexual abuse.
The Female Rape Support Fund now funds 84 rape support centres in England and Wales, and two more centres will open later this year. The fund has helped established 15 new centres since 2010.
Additionally, the Ministry of Justice has, for the first time, established a dedicated Male Rape Support Fund. This fund will commission specific services to ensure that men who have been raped or sexually abused at any time in their lives will have access to the help they need.
These services are available for both recent and historic cases.
