Police: Pay

Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to change the way that police pay is determined; and if he will make a statement. [136701]

Mr. McNulty: In November 2006, I announced the Home Secretary’s intention to review police pay arrangements and that he had asked Sir Clive Booth to undertake this review. The first part of Sir Clive Booth’s review has now reported entitled “Fair Pay for Police Officers”. The report makes a number of recommendations which we are considering and consulting with police stakeholders. Sir Clive Booth will report back with part two of his review in the autumn of this year.

Police: Petrol

Mr. Jeremy Browne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his most recent estimate is of the total cost of petrol consumption by police forces in England and Wales. [137170]

Mr. McNulty: The information for all police forces in England and Wales is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Police: Training

Mr. Jeremy Browne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much each police authority in England and Wales spent on training (a) police officers, (b) police community support officers and (c) special constables in each of the last 10 years. [137171]

Mr. McNulty [holding answer 15 May 2007]: Data on the annual cost of training for police officers, police community support officer and special constables are not centrally held.

Funding for police training is largely a matter for individual chief constables and police authorities and is reviewed on an annual basis.

Prisoners Release: Overcrowding

Mr. Francois: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans the Government has to introduce new measures to release offenders from prison early to ease prison overcrowding. [136179]

Mr. Sutcliffe: I have been asked to answer.

The Ministry of Justice is not currently planning to release offenders early. We are dealing with pressures on the prison estate by building more capacity. We will always ensure that there will be prison places for those serious, sexual and seriously persistent offenders who ought to be in prison.

Prisons

Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the capital value is of each prison establishment; and if he will make a statement. [134599]

Mr. Sutcliffe: I have been asked to reply.

The capital values are provided in the table. The values are provided on the basis of depreciated replacement cost as at 31 March 2007 and are subject to audit. Staff quarters and leasehold premises are not included.
