26 July 2010 : Column 693W—continued
Prisoners: Sentencing
Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many and what proportion of people who had previously served community sentences or other non-custodial sentences were sent to prison for (a) one year or less and (b) more than one year in each of the last three years. [10264]
Mr Blunt: Figures for the number of offenders sentenced to immediate custody for indictable offences, by sentence length and previous sentence history are presented in the following table, for years 2006 to 2008, the most recent data available.
The figures shown are a further breakdown of the criminal history statistics presented in chapter 6 of "Sentencing Statistics 2008" which was published on 28 January 2010 and can be found at:
The figures have been drawn from the police's administrative IT system, the police national computer, which, as with any large scale recording system, is subject to possible errors with data entry and processing. The figures are provisional and subject to change as more information is recorded by the police.
Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many prisoners had their sentence lengthened while in prison in the last five years. [10269]
Mr Blunt: This information is not held in the precise form requested. The National Offender Management Service records the number of findings of guilt against prisoners at internal disciplinary hearings (adjudications) where additional days were imposed. This information is given in the following table. Some prisoners may have received more than one award of added days.
| Number of punishments of additional days imposed | |
| Punishments | |
Prisons: Crimes of Violence
Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many attacks on prison staff were made by prisoners in each of the last three years; and how many prisoners had their prison sentence lengthened as a result in each of those years. [10267]
Mr Blunt: The National Offender Management Service does not record the number of attacks on prison staff, rather it records assault incidents in which one or more members of staff has been assaulted.
The following table shows the number of all recorded assault incidents in which a member of staff has been assaulted and/or injured in each of the last three years:
| Assault incidents | |
The following table shows the number of findings of guilt against prisoners at internal disciplinary hearings (adjudications) for assaults on staff, and punishments of additional days awarded:
| 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | |
The figures refer to all incidents recorded as assaults, these may also include threatening behaviour, projection of bodily fluids and other non-contact events and allegations.
Prisons: Drugs
Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many times sniffer dogs have been used to search for drugs in prisons in each of the last three years. [10262]
Mr Blunt: The data requested are not held centrally. To obtain such information would require a detailed survey of each prison establishment which would be at disproportionate cost.
The prisons National Security Framework requires that each prison has a local security strategy, within which is detailed the type and frequency of searches to be undertaken using drugs detection dogs in given circumstances. This varies from prison to prison according to the level and type of prisoner drug misuse in each prison. All prisons have access to search dog capability.
Prisons: Visits
Philip Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many closed visits there were in prisons in the last 12 months; and what the estimated cost was of those visits. [10261]
Mr Blunt: In 2008-09, the last year for which data are available, 1,543 visitors to prisons were made subject to a period of closed visits following a visiting ban, 374 visitors were made subject to a period of closed visits instead of a visiting ban, and 1,871 prisoners were made subject to a period of closed visits.
These figures have been drawn from administrative data systems. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. The figures are not subject to audit.
The cost of operating closed visits cannot be disaggregated from the overall operating costs of prison visits.
Secure Training Centres: Children
Annette Brooke: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice (1) how many referrals made to local authorities of section 47 of the Child Act 1989 concerning a child or children held in a secure training centre were made by (a) centre staff, (b) staff of the Youth Justice Board, (c) independent advocates, (d) Ofsted staff, (e) a child, (f) a child's relatives and (g) another person or organisation in the last five years; [10918]
(2) on how many occasions a referral under section 47 of the Children Act 1989 has been made to a local authority following a restraint incident in each of the last five years; and what steps were taken by (a) the
local authority, (b) the relevant police force and (c) prosecuting authorities in consequence. [11141]
Mr Blunt: The available information is as follows. The table shows the number of referrals by secure training centres (STCs) in the past five years, using data provided by the STCs. These related to incidents: in custody; during the young person's earlier placements; or while the young person was in the community.
| Total | |
In cases where YJB staff consider that a matter should be referred to the local authority, then, unless the matter concerns the director of the centre, it is processed through the centre's child protection arrangements. There have been no separate referrals by YJB staff to local authorities under section 47 in the last five years.
The Government do not collect data centrally on the sources of, or reasons for, referrals to children's social care, which is a local authority responsibility.
Shoplifting: Unpaid Fines
Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what estimate he has made of the level of non-payment of fines for offences relating to theft from shops in the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement. [9866]
Mr Djanogly: HMCS systems do not identify how many fines are paid for specific offences and therefore an assessment of the level of non-payment for fines imposed for theft from shops could be provided only at disproportionate cost as it would require a manual search of all fine accounts.
Her Majesty's Courts Service has in place a strategy to increase the success of compliance with court orders particularly with regard to financial penalties-the Criminal Compliance and Enforcement Services Blueprint. This was launched in July 2008 and is being implemented across HMCS. The blueprint sets out HMCS's strategic objective for enforcement which is for a cheaper, faster and more proportionate system that primarily focuses on 'first time' compliance while continuing to apply the principles of rigorous enforcement to the hard core of defaulters.
Unpaid Fines
Mr Knight: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the monetary value was of uncollected fines levied as a result of convictions for criminal offences on the latest date for which figures are available. [10872]
Mr Djanogly: The amount outstanding for financial penalties at the end of June 2010 was £597,926,217.
The value of outstanding balance includes the amount owed for fines imposed in the magistrates and Crown courts plus compensation, victims surcharge, costs and
the value of unpaid fixed penalty notices that are transferred to HMCS for enforcement as a fine. The outstanding balance has risen through the application of a strict policy that only allows fines to be written off in certain circumstances. The outstanding balance includes fines imposed a number of years ago during the period when fines could not be cancelled (2004-06) and fines which are being paid by instalments. Some of the balance outstanding could be as much as 10 years old.
There was a large increase in the amount outstanding in April 2010 due to one fine for £8.3 million being imposed against a company, of which only £2 million has been paid so far and they have been ordered to pay the remainder in instalments starting from December 2010.
Priti Patel: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much is owed to the Exchequer in outstanding fines imposed by courts; and what steps the Government plans to take to recuperate all such outstanding fines. [11056]
Mr Djanogly: The amount outstanding for financial penalties at the end of June 2010 was £597,926,217.
The value of outstanding balance includes the amount owed for fines imposed in the magistrates and crown courts plus compensation, victims surcharge, costs and the value of unpaid fixed penalty notices that are transferred to HMCS for enforcement as a fine. The outstanding balance has risen through the application of a strict policy that only allows fines to be written off in certain circumstances. The outstanding balance includes fines imposed a number of years ago during the period when fines could not be cancelled (2000-06) and fines which are being paid by instalments. Some of the balance outstanding could be as much as 10 years old. There was a large increase in the amount outstanding in April 2010 due to one fine for £8.3 million being imposed against a company, of which only £2 million has been paid so far and they have been ordered to pay the remainder in instalments starting from December 2010.

The blueprint sets out HMCS's strategic objective for enforcement which is for a cheaper, faster and more proportionate system that primarily focuses on 'first time' compliance while continuing to apply the principles of rigorous enforcement to the hard core of defaulters. The blueprint implementation ensures greater use of the sanctions available under the Courts Act 2003 and extended methods of payment
Performance in relation to the collection of financial penalties is being closely monitored across all areas of HMCS and any area where performance is below target is being challenged by a central team who will assist the area in identifying areas for improvement and set targets for increased collection.
In the 2009-10 financial year HMCS collected £259,241,082 which was £12.5 million (5%) more cash against financial penalties than in the 2008-09 year.
Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority Committee
Members: Correspondence
Glenda Jackson: To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, what the (a) longest, (b) shortest and (c) average time has been for staff of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority to reply to an email from an hon. Member. [10202]
Mr Charles Walker: At present, IPSA aims to respond to all e-mails and letters within five working days. Historical data regarding the timeframe for responding to queries received to date are not readily available. However, IPSA has recently introduced a new case management system which will improve the response time to e-mails, letters and telephone queries; and ensure accurate records of correspondence between Members and IPSA. Once this system is fully rolled out across IPSA, IPSA will provide Members with information on its performance against these and other service targets.
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Agriculture: Environment Protection
Mr Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what priorities she has set for research and development expenditure on projects to increase agricultural production and protect the environment; and if she will make a statement. [7258]
Mr Paice: Research and development is crucial to help the farming industry raise production in harmony with the environment and contribute to the global challenge of food security.
DEFRA's agricultural research and development has over recent years focused on the development of sustainable farming systems, reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to climate change, protecting against pests and diseases, and improving animal health and welfare.
The new Technology Strategy Board, DEFRA and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council innovation platform for sustainable agriculture and food will invest up to £90 million over the next five years in match-funding to industry for agricultural research.
Air Pollution
Andrew George: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when she plans to respond to the Fifth Report of the Environment Audit Committee, Session 2009-10, HC229, on Air Quality. [10885]
Richard Benyon: DEFRA is preparing a response to this report in consultation with other Government Departments and expects to publish it in the autumn.
Bears: Conservation
Mr Bain: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make representations to international agencies on the enforcement of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in respect of the farming in Asia of species of bear for bile. [10339]
Richard Benyon: Unless domestic practices are stimulating international trade, the convention on international trade in endangered species (CITES) does not restrict such activities. Nevertheless, whereas CITES does not prohibit the domestic "farming" of captive-bred specimens of appendix I species-such as Asiatic black bears-it does regard them as being included in appendix II of the convention and thus requiring appropriate certification if the animals, or products from them, are to be subject to international trade. CITES certification focuses on the conservation impact of international trade and is meant to ensure that such trade is not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild.
Should we be made aware that international trade was taking place, we would of course pass that information to appropriate authorities, including the CITES Secretariat, to verify whether it was being done in accordance with the relevant CITES controls and requirements.
In the UK we take a precautionary approach and ban all commercial trade in bear bile or gall bladders irrespective of their source.
British Waterways: Compensation
Jake Berry: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether British Waterways plans to compensate (a) boat owners and (b) business owners affected by the temporary closure of a stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. [11724]
Richard Benyon: British Waterways is not able to refund license or mooring fees. The terms and conditions of mooring agreements and boat licenses explain that historic canals may on occasion need to be closed due to circumstances beyond British Waterways' reasonable control. The planned closure of one section of the Leeds and Liverpool canal is due to the severe drought. British Waterways have been working with affected boat businesses to minimise the impact of the closure, including assistance with relocation to other unaffected areas.
Coastal Erosion
Dr Thérèse Coffey: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will assess the merits of redesignating her departmental responsibility for coastal erosion as her departmental responsibility for coastal protection. [10870]
Richard Benyon:
The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 provides for flood and coastal erosion risk management which will enable a wide range of approaches for dealing with these threats. Risk management includes, but is wider than, coastal protection. It will allow community-based adaptation approaches, such as the current coastal change pathfinder programme, where
appropriate. Protection is not the only option or always affordable, sustainable or appropriate, especially where it increases the risk to others. Renaming our departmental responsibility for coastal erosion could narrow and limit our role in this area.
Common Agricultural Policy
Priti Patel: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much Common Agricultural Policy funding she expects farmers in (a) the UK, (b) England, (c) Essex and (d) Witham constituency to receive in the next five years. [10094]
Mr Paice: It is not possible to provide figures for the next five years, both because payments to farmers under the Common Agricultural Policy are made in response to applications from farmers and land managers and because the current CAP Budget comes to an end in 2013. As an indication, however, farmers in the UK received approximately £3.3 billion in the year ending 15 October 2009 for direct aids and rural development schemes under the CAP, which included £2.1 billion in England. The UK paying agencies do not record information on payments at county or constituency level. Further information can be found on DEFRA's website.
Dangerous Dogs
Angie Bray: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much was spent on kennelling dogs whose classification under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 was subject to a court case in (a) England, (b) London and (c) the London Borough of Ealing in the latest period for which figures are available. [10216]
Mr Paice [holding answer 21 July 2010]: The cost to police forces across England, in London and in the London borough of Ealing of kennelling dogs whose classification under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 was subject to a court case cannot be provided because these figures are not held centrally.
Departmental Billing
Mr Anderson: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what information her Department holds on the time taken by contractors employed by it to pay the invoices of their sub-contractors under prompt payment arrangements; and if she will make a statement. [9255]
Richard Benyon: The Department does not hold this information and would incur disproportionate cost to obtain it.
Jeremy Lefroy: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what percentage of payments made by her Department to (a) small and medium-sized enterprise suppliers and (b) all suppliers were made (i) within 10 days of receipt of invoice and (ii) on the agreed payment terms in the last three months for which information is available. [11382]
Richard Benyon: The Department does not distinguish between small and medium-sized enterprise suppliers and all other suppliers in its payment processes.
From information held centrally for the core Department the following table shows performance over the period April to June 2010.
| Percentage | ||
| Core DEFRA | 10 day performance | Normal supplier terms performance |
Departmental Buildings
Graham Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much (a) her Department and its predecessors and (b) its agencies and non-departmental public bodies spent on office refurbishment in each year since 1997. [7353]

Graham Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much her Department spent on catering in each year from 1997 to 2009. [4855]
Richard Benyon: The Department was formed in 2001.
The catering contract was awarded and commenced in April 2005 serving London and the Guildford sites. At the DEFRA site in York the contract was awarded in April 2008. The costs shown in the following table refer to the actual cost of catering subsidy (the contribution made towards the staff restaurants which is a contractual obligation):

Chi Onwurah: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the monetary value is of her Department's contracts with its suppliers which (a) are under review and (b) have been cancelled under her Department's plans to achieve cost savings. [11409]
Richard Benyon: Work on assessing our current contracts and identifying the scope for renegotiation or cancellation is under way following the announcements in the Budget. It is too early to say what will be the outcome in terms of number of contracts affected and likely savings involved in the activity.
Departmental ICT
Graham Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much (a) her Department and its predecessors and (b) its agencies and non-departmental public bodies spent on information and communication technology in each year since 1997. [7334]
Richard Benyon: In response to the amount spent on information and communication technology since 1997, the Department was not formed until 2001 and data between then and April 2006 could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Data for all agencies and NDPBs since 2006 not shown could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
The amount coded to information and communication technology for Core DEFRA and its agencies and NDPBs available is shown in the following table:
Departmental Official Cars
Hugh Bayley: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much her Department has spent on the Government Car Service since the Government took office. [7975]

Richard Benyon: The following table summarises the total spent, by core DEFRA and its Executive Agencies, in 2009-10 for remuneration to civil servants. Figures are taken from the Resource Accounts of each organisation.
| Organisation | Spend (£ million) |
Departmental Secondment
Zac Goldsmith: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps she plans to take to increase the number of officials seconded from her Department to the EU institutions. [9282]
Mr Paice: My Department regularly identifies and evaluates opportunities that arise for secondments to the EU institutions. A budget is available to fund a number of opportunities in priority areas. These are advertised internally, and staff are encouraged to apply in order both to provide UK expertise to these bodies and to develop their own knowledge and skills for the benefit of the Department on their return from these time-limited posts. The establishment of the new European Fast Stream will assist in developing more candidates able to apply successfully both for such secondments, and for permanent posts within the institutions.

Richard Benyon: The following amounts were spent on electricity, heating (gas, oil and Whitehall district heating system) since 2002-03 and on water since 2004-05. Information is not held prior to those dates. In addition, availability of historic telephone services expenditure varies from body to body according to their archiving strategy. Those data are therefore incomplete. These data cover the core Department, its executive agencies, and its two largest NDPBs, the Environment Agency and Natural England; information for all NDPBs could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
