The amount shown equates to all administratively cancelled financial penalties not just the monetary value of means warrants which have been written off. The Department is unable to provide data solely relating to means warrants without incurring disproportionate costs.

Party Conferences
Mr. Don Foster:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether any of his Department's non-departmental public bodies sent representatives to attend one or more political party conferences in 2009. [293472]
Mr. Wills:
No non-departmental public bodies sponsored by the Ministry of Justice sent representatives to any of the political party conferences in 2009.
Political Parties: Finance
Mr. Tyrie:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will ask each of the three participating political parties if they will consent to place all background papers and minutes from the inter-party talks on the funding of political parties in the public domain; and if he will place in the Library a copy of those papers. [292599]
Mr. Straw:
As I said in the debate on the publication of the White Paper, Party finance and expenditure in the United Kingdom, on 16 June 2009, Official Report, column 695 release of these papers is a matter for Sir Hayden Phillips, not the Government.
Prisons: Drugs
David Howarth:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether there was any discrepancy between the number of drugs received into prison pharmacies in England and Wales and the number prescribed in these prisons in the most recent 12 month period for which figures are available; and what arrangements are in place for regular auditing to verify such information. [292604]
Phil Hope:
I have been asked to reply.
This information is not collected centrally. The responsibility for commissioning offender health services in publicly run prisons in England has been fully devolved to national health service primary care trusts since 2006 and as such pharmacy services are commissioned locally.
Local clinical audit and governance is in place for offender medication management as in the wider NHS.
Prisons: Manpower
Lynne Jones:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice which staff (a) grades, (b) rates of pay and (c) vacancies there were in the prison service in each of the last three years; what his Department's policy on recruitment in the prison service has been in each such year; if he will consider proposals for a new prison officer grade, including rate of pay; and if he will make a statement. [292436]
Maria Eagle:
The grades at which staff were employed in HM Prison Service is shown in the following table together with the maximum and minimum rate of pay for each grade or payband in each year of the last three years.
