The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many medical students completed their studies in London medical schools in each year from 2006 to 2009.

Ben Gummer

Data available from the Medical and Dental Students (MDS) Survey from 2009 to 2012 shows the output of those obtaining their first registrable medical qualification from London universities as:

Year	Output from London universities
2009	1,668
2010	1,650
2011	1,790
2012	1,713

From 2013, the MDS did not collect information on the output from medical schools.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2014-06-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign national prisoners were repatriated under foreign prisoner transfer agreements to their home countries to serve their custodial sentence in each year since 2010.

Jeremy Wright

The tables below sets out the number of prisoners who have transferred from a prison in England andWales to a prison in their state of nationality since 1 January 2009.

Year	Transfers
2009	40
2010	46
2011	33
2012	40
2013	43

The list includes one foreign national prisoner who was returned to a British Overseas Territory in 2011 under the Colonial Prisoners Removal Act 1884.

We remain determined to secure compulsory Prisoner Transfer Agreements wherever possible, in order to increase the number of foreign national prisoners who are able to transfer to prisons in their home countries. In January this year we signed a compulsory transfer agreement with Nigeria and last year we signed an agreement with Albania. We expect to see prisoner transfers to both these countries before the end of this year.

We are also working hard to increase the number of foreign nationals who are removed from prison under the Early Removal Scheme (ERS) and the Tariff Expired Removal Scheme (TERS). In 2013, we removed nearly 2,000 FNOs under ERS and under TERS, which we introduced in May 2012, we have removed 256 prisoners to date.

The numbers reported here are drawn from a Prison Service Case Tracking System. Care is taken when processing these cases but the figures may be subject to inaccuracies associated with any recording system.

Whereas this Government has begun to reduce the foreign national population in prison since 2010, between 1997 and 2010, the number of foreign nationals in our prisons more than doubled.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2015-02-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of local magistrate advisory boards were (a) women, (b) men, (c) of BAME origin and (d) aged over 65 on 1 April (i) 1989, (ii) 1994, (iii) 2000, (iv) 2005, (v) 2010 and (vi) 2014.

Mr Shailesh Vara

I have interpreted ‘Local magistrate advisory boards’ to mean Advisory Committees on Justices of the Peace, the bodies responsible for recruiting and selecting magistrates in England and Wales.

We encourage applications from people from all walks of life who have the necessary skills, and we will continue to work to ensure that our magistrates reflect the make-up of modern Britain.

Diversity data for the Advisory Committees’ members is not recorded for the requested years prior to 2005. The available data is shown below.

Year (1 April)	Female	Male	BAME	Age over 65
2005	46%	54%	7%	36%
2010	47%	53%	9%	60%
2014	48%	52%	10%	53%

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department paid to (a) G4S, (b) Serco, (c) Sodexo, (d) GEOAmey, (e) Capita, (f) Atos, (g) Mitie, (h) Working Links, (i) A4E, (j) MTC Amey, (k) GEO Group and (l) Carillion in (i) 2010-11, (ii) 2011-12, (iii) 2012-13 and (iv) 2013-14.

Mr Philip Dunne

As part of the Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) transparency programme, monthly spend over £25,000 is available on the Gov.uk website for financial years 2010-11 to 2013-14:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mod-finance-transparency-dataset.

This data represents payments made centrally by the MOD. It does not include payments made by the MOD’s Trading Funds, payments made for warlike stores, and payments that would be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information legislation (for example, for reasons of national security or commercial sensitivity).

No payments have been made over the period 2010-11 to 2013-14 to GEO Amey, Working Links, A4E, MTC Amey or GEO Group.

Since January 2011, all contracts over £10,000 in value are published on Contracts Finder:

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2015-02-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, who the members are of each local magistrate advisory board.

Mr Shailesh Vara

I have interpreted ‘Local magistrate advisory boards’ to mean Advisory Committees on Justices of the Peace, the bodies responsible for recruiting and selecting magistrates in England and Wales.

To enable their work to be informed by a range of knowledge and experience, Advisory Committees are composed of both magistrates and non-magistrates. At least one third of each Committee’s members should be non-magistrates.

The attached table contains the names of each Committee’s members and indicates which of those members are magistrates.
