John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how data found on illicit mobile phones in prisons is being analysed by the prison service. [320098]

Maria Eagle: Data found on illicit mobile phones found in prison is analysed by establishments. However, for security reasons it is not possible to disclose details of how this is undertaken. Analysis of the data found on illicit mobile phones provides a potentially valuable source of intelligence for prisons and law enforcement agencies. Guidance to ensure a greater level of consistency across the estate is due to be circulated shortly.
