John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether his Department is on course to meet the Sustainable Operations on the Government Estate targets (a) to source at least 10 per cent. of its electricity from renewables by 31 March 2008 and (b) to increase recycling figures to 40 per cent. of waste by 2010. [198032]
Maria Eagle: The Ministry of Justice has met its target of sourcing at least 10 per cent. of its electricity from renewables by 31 March 2008.
A waste management strategy is currently being implemented across the estate that will enable the Ministry to increase recycling figures to 40 per cent. of waste by 2010. Good progress has already been made with MoJ HQ estate increasing its recycling by approximately 39 per cent. between 2005-06 and 2006-07.
John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether his Department is working towards an accredited certified environmental management system (a) for its whole estate and (b) in some of its buildings. [198035]
Maria Eagle: The Ministry of Justice is working towards implementing environmental management systems across its estate. We are in the process of implementing an EMS for ISO 14001 accreditation in the Tribunals Service, MoJ Headquarters estate and the Royal Courts of Justice. In addition, a bespoke environmental management system is being implemented across the Prison Service estate. We will be looking to extend these systems across the rest of the estate in due course, and as set out in the Ministrys Sustainable Development Action Plan.
Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what estimate he has made of the number of people detained in prison who are not recorded on the detentions database; and what information is held by his Department on non-UK nationals released from prison without notification to the Home Office, as referred to by the National Audit Office report on asylum and migration (HC(2003-04)625) of 25 May 2004. [180515]
Mr. Byrne: I have been asked to reply.
The section of the National Audit Office report on Asylum and Migration statistics published on 25 May 2004 to which is referred relates to the accuracy of statistics held by IND (now known as the UK Border Agency) governing the number of individuals held in detention for immigration reasons.
Since the report was published, the DELMIS system, to which it referred, has been superseded by a different system known as the case information database (CID). This is designed for use within all areas of the Agency as opposed to just the detention service directorate. It is through CID that the Agency is able to ensure that it keeps accurate records on all individuals immigration cases as well as ensuring that caseworkers are aware of where an individual resided or whether they were detained.
The chief executive of the UK Border Agency has written to the Home Affairs Committee on several occasions over the past 18 months and explained that we have reviewed and strengthened our processes in identifying those foreign nationals serving custodial sentences who should be considered for deportation following the events of April 2006.
