The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Leech on 2014-03-27.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many of the people imprisoned in 2012 for non-payment of fines relating to television licence evasion had other unpaid fines for other offences; and how many outstanding fines on average such people had.
Mr Shailesh Vara
It is not possible to identify from Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals systems the original offences of people sent to prison for non payment of fines or how many other fines they may have had. This information could only be provided at disproportionate cost as identifying this would require a manual search of all closed and live fine accounts.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the timetable is for the contracting-out of the Probation Service during 2014.

Under our reforms the market will be opened up to a diverse range of new rehabilitation providers, so that we get the best out of the public, voluntary and private sectors, at the local as well as national level. A more diverse market of rehabilitation providers will bring innovation in rehabilitative services, helping to deliver a real reduction in reoffending rates. The process to establish the owners of the 21 new Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) with responsibility for the provision of rehabilitation services is well underway. We will assess the bids we receive over the summer, and expect to sign contracts with new CRC owners later this year. We remain committed to seeing Payment by Results rolled out across the system by 2015.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what the (a) 20 highest and (b) 20 lowest value contracts awarded by his Department were in each financial year since 2009-10.
David Mundell
Other than minor or bespoke purchases, the Scotland Office does not undertake direct procurement or tendering projects. It utilises existing service contracts between suppliers and the Scottish Government or the Ministry of Justice. Since May 2010, only one contract has been issued directly by the Scotland Office. This was issued to the Royal Mail in 2011/12 for its role in providing candidates’ free mailing in the Scottish Parliament election of 2011, the value of which was just over £6.4 million.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to announce which stations will receive (a) access for all funding and (b) national station improvement programme funding between 2014 and 2019.
Stephen Hammond
We plan to announce the stations that will receive Access for All funding in April.
The responsibility for deciding which stations will benefit from the next phase of the National Stations Improvement Programme rests with the industry Local Delivery Groups (LDGs) and not the Department.
The LDGs are in the process of developing their plans and will in due course be able to confirm which schemes they are progressing.
