Young Offenders
Sadiq Khan:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice on what dates he has met the Secretary of State for (a) Education and (b) Communities and Local Government to discuss the resettlement of young offenders since May 2010. [46902]
Mr Blunt:
I met the Under-Secretary of State for Education, the hon. Member for East Worthing and Shoreham (Tim Loughton), on 7 September 2010 and we will be meeting again on 30 March to discuss youth justice issues, including resettlement of young offenders.
I have yet to meet with Ministers in the Department for Communities and Local Government but my officials have been working closely with colleagues there, on the implications of the localism agenda for locally devolved Youth Offending Teams.
We recognise that young people leaving custody are some of the most vulnerable young people in our society and that their effective resettlement is critical to breaking the cycle of offending. Young offenders have complex and wide ranging problems which require intensive support and access to services which can directly address their offending behaviour.
The recent Green Paper proposals set out how we are considering introducing elements of payment by results into youth justice to incentivise local authorities to reduce youth offending, of which resettlement is a key part.
Young Offenders: Sentencing
Mr Ruffley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) 15, (b) 16 and (c) 17-year-olds were given custodial sentences in each police force area since 2007; and what the average length of sentence was. [46833]
Mr Blunt:
The number of defendants aged 15 to 17 sentenced to an immediate custodial sentence and the average custodial sentence length and other sentences at all courts by police force area, England and Wales, 2007-09 (latest available) is provided in the tables.
Data for 2010 are planned for publication in the spring of 2011.

(1) Excludes life and indeterminate sentences.
(2) The figures given in the table on court proceedings relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe.
(3) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
(4) Other sentences include: absolute and conditional discharge, fine, community sentence, suspended sentence and otherwise dealt with.
(5) Excludes data for Cardiff magistrates court for April, July and August 2008.
