Prisons: Training

Mr. Clegg: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which companies were contracted by his Department to carry out training for (a) prisoners and (b) prison staff in each of the last five years. [135835]

Mr. Sutcliffe: I have been asked to reply.

The information requested on companies contracted for training both public sector prisoners and public sector prison staff is available in part only. The information is drawn from the contracts register held by the Prison Service National Procurement Unit and a list of current HM Prison Service suppliers is as follows. In addition, Serco, G4S, Kalyx and GSL are contracted by the Home Office to provide private sector custodial places, including the provision of training. Additional information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Sentencing

Mr. Sutcliffe: I have been asked to reply.

Information on prisoners received into prisons in England and Wales under Indeterminate Sentences for Public Protection (IPP) between April 2005 and March 2006, by length of tariff (minimum term), can be found in the following table. It is also available as Table 11.2 in the Home Office Statistical Bulletin: Offender Management Caseload Statistics 2005, a copy of which can be found in the House of Commons Library.

⁽¹⁾ IPP information up to w/c 27 March 2006. Note: These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system, and so although shown to the last individual, the figures may not be accurate to that level.
