1. All figures quoted have been derived from management information and are
therefore provisional and subject to change. This information has not been
quality assured under National Statistics protocols.
2. Figures relate to main applicants only.
3. Figures relate to criteria FNO cases only.
4. Figures rounded to the nearest 5 ( – = 0, * = 1 or 2) and may not sum to the
totals shown because of independent rounding.
5. Data is a snapshot of individuals detained in prison on 31 December 2013.

We make every effort to ensure that a person’s removal by deportation
coincides, as far as possible, with his/her release from prison on completion
of sentence. Where a detainee refuses to cooperate with the removal or
deportation process, detention may be prolonged.

The Immigration Bill will have a significant impact on the ability of FNOs to
delay removal by mounting legal challenges whilst in the UK. The current
appeals system means that 17 different types of decision can be appealed. The
Immigration Bill will simplify the appeals system and mean that appeals can
only be brought where the Home Office has refused a protection (asylum or
humanitarian protection) claim, a human rights claim or a claim based on EU
free movement rights. It will also give us the power to certify that where
deportation will not cause serious irreversible harm, the appeal will be heard
after the offender has left the country.

Sadiq Khan – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2014-04-29.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the nationality was of (a) all people in prison and (b) people in prison who self-identified as Muslim on 1 January 2014.

Jeremy Wright

Data are held centrally on the prison population in England and Wales on the last day of each month, so figures have been provided for 31^st December 2013 (with the exception of PQ 197068 which has been answered as at 30 June 2013 – the latest available data for criminal history information).

For PQ 197067, Table 1 below provides the number for the sentenced prison population by sentence length for self-declared Muslim prisoners and the total for all religions.

For PQ 197068, Table 2 provides the number of offenders in prison on 30th June 2013 who identified themselves as Muslim and all other religions by the number of previous custodial sentences received.

For PQ 197069, Table 3 provides the prison population by nationality for self-declared Muslims and the total for all other religions.

For PQ 197090, Table 4 provides the prison population by age group for self-declared Muslims and the total for all other religions.

Please note that the religion of prisoners is self declared and prisoners are under no obligation to declare their religion.

These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.

Sadiq Khan – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2014-04-29.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many prisoners reached (a) Key Stage 1, (b) Key Stage 2 and (c) Key Stage 3 qualifications in (i) English and (ii) mathematics whilst in prison in each of the last five years.

Matthew Hancock

We do not centrally hold information on prior attainment.

Work is under way to introduce, this summer, mandatory education assessment by the Offenders’ Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) provider for all newly-received prisoners. This will ensure that all offenders, not just those that go on to learning, receive a learning assessment (focused around English and maths, but also covering learning difficulties and disabilities).

Table 1 shows Offender Learner English and Maths Achievements for the 2012/13 academic year. The data are broken down by Level rather than Key Stage as this is the appropriate measure for further education qualifications.

Notes

1) The data source is the Individualised Learner Record.

2) Volumes are rounded to the nearest ten except for the Grand Totals which are rounded to the nearest hundred.

3) Learners undertaking courses at more than one level will be counted once for each applicable level, but once only in the Total.

4) Offender learners are defined as offenders aged 18 or over that participated in Skills Funding Agency funded learning while in the prison system. These offenders were funded via the Offenders’ Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) budget.

Information on Offender Learner English and maths achievements by level for 2010/11 and 2011/12 is published as a Supplementary Table to a Statistical First Release. Data for earlier years are not available on a comparable basis.

Sadiq Khan – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2014-06-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much his Department has spent on agency workers to cover clerical staff in each month since January 2014.

Andrew Selous

Since April 2010 we have cut our overall spend on temporary staff by £35.5m. We only use temporary staff to fill business-critical posts and essential frontline services where they can provide a fast, flexible and efficient way to obtain necessary skills that are not currently available in-house. We will continue to examine our use of contractors and look for further reductions.

In responding to each question we have utilised data provided by our contracted supplier of temporary clerical staff and contracted supplier of temporary operational staff. As the data provided has been supplied by two different third parties there is a slight difference in the way that the answer to question 3 and 4 has been presented.

Temporary operational staff relate to Operational Support Grades (OSGs) used within HM Prison Service. We have contracts in place to provide temporary OSGs to fill in gaps in requirements, for building projects or to fill vacancies short term. Temporary OSGs are a very small proportion of our staff complement.

Uniform operational support staff are Operational Support Grades (OSGs).These are uniformed staff who undertake a wide range of duties in prisons, for example operating prison gates, working in security and managing stores areas. They also escort contractors and their vehicles.

1) The following amounts (exclusive of VAT) have been spent on clerical agency staff across –

January 2014 – £2,983,633.14 (5 week period)

February 2014 – £2,613,023.10 (4 week period)

March 2014 – £2,591,678.87 (4 week period)

April 2014 – £2,900,742.70 (5 week period)

May 2014 – £2,398,053.57 (4 week period)

June 2014 – £658,700.28 (1 week period)

2) The following amounts (exclusive of VAT) have been spent on uniform operational support staff –

January 2014 – £1,082,247 (5 week period)

February 2014 – £1,420,329 (4 week period)

March 2014 – £1,137,834 (4 week period)

April 2014 – £1,249,908 (4 week period)

May 2014 – £2,282,468 (5 week period)

The spend for May 2014 also includes the backdated annual pay rise for eligible workers from 1^st April 2014.

3) The following number of clerical agency staff have been utilised –

January 2014 – 1571 (Average headcount)

February 2014 – 1634 (Average headcount)

March 2014 – 1624 (Average headcount)

April 2014 – 1578 (Average headcount)

May 2014 – 1644 (Average headcount)

June 2014 – 1674 (Average headcount)

4) The following number of uniform operational support staff have been utilised –

January 2014 – 697 (Peak worker number)

February 2014 – 845 (Peak worker number)

March 2014 – 867 (Peak worker number)

April 2014 – 853 (Peak worker number)

May 2014 – 855 (Peak worker number)

June 2014 – Peak worker number not available yet.
