Written Answers
Reoffenders
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Friday 6th September 2024

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the latest recidivism rates for released prisoners receiving benefits.

Answered by Lord Timpson - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

This Government is reducing reoffending by giving prison leavers the tools to move away from crime.

The latest available data for England and Wales shows that 37.0% of adults released from custody between April 2021 and March 2022 were proven to have reoffended within 12 months of release.

We do not currently measure reoffending rates for released prisoners receiving benefits, on training schemes for job placements or in work (although the latter will be featured in future publications of proven reoffending statistics, with the first due for release in October 2024).

We do, however, know from previous research that offenders who leave custody into employment are up to nine percentage points less likely to reoffend, and there is a similar percentage point reduction in reoffending for those who have engaged in any form of in-prison education.

Prisoners: Training
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Friday 6th September 2024

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government what regulations govern training for prisoners while still in prison for job placements on release.

Answered by Lord Timpson - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

The prison education curriculum enables prisoners to gain the skills they need to get employment on release. In addition to English, maths and vocational training we offer bespoke, local training via the Dynamic Purchasing System. We are developing other training through our Future Skills Programme in a variety of sectors, such as construction and hospitality with employers guaranteeing interviews to prisoners on completion of the course. Prisoners may also undertake other work placements during their sentence which prepares them for work on release. Some are within the prison setting e.g. prison kitchens, but prisoners in open prisons may also go out to work in a variety of sectors under Release on Temporary Licence conditions. We also work with the Department for Education who fund a ‘skills bootcamp’ to deliver training in skills needed to work in the rail industry alongside continuing to develop the opportunities for serving prisoners to undertake apprenticeships.

Prison Education delivered by HMPPS is underpinned by the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, the Prison Rules 1999 and the Prison Education and Libraries Framework. The delivery of apprenticeships to prisoners is governed by the Apprenticeships (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2017. All aspects of education, skills and work are inspected by Ofsted alongside HMIP.

Prisoners' Release: Universal Credit
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 16th September 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what regulations govern Universal Credit payments for prisoners immediately after their release.

Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

There are no specific regulations that govern the payment of Universal Credit (UC) to a prisoner upon release. They are treated like every other customer when they make a claim to UC. If they need urgent financial assistance when they have completed their online UC claim they can ask for a new claim advance payment which is offered to all new customers. There are provisions (Claims and Payments Regulations 2013) that allow prisoners to start to prepare their UC claim before their release, however the date of entitlement starts on the release date, and first payment is usually made around five weeks after the claim is made.

High Speed 2 Line: Finance
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Thursday 7th November 2024

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government as a result of the latest total for public investment in HS2 how much funding under the Barnett formula they estimate will go to (1) Scotland, (2) Wales, and (3) Northern Ireland.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Barnett formula will continue to apply as set out in the published Statement of Funding Policy.

The UK Government is responsible for much of the rail infrastructure in Wales, and therefore spends money on this infrastructure rather than funding the Welsh Government to do so through the Barnett formula. In line with this responsibility, the UK Government is currently delivering an ambitious programme to upgrade Welsh railways.

In Scotland and Northern Ireland, rail infrastructure is a devolved responsibility, so the Scottish Government and Northern Ireland Executive receive funding through Barnett formula. The Barnett formula is applied at fiscal events when UK Government departmental budgets are set rather than being applied when departments announce how they are spending their budgets.

The Block Grant Transparency publication breaks down all changes in the devolved governments’ block grant funding from the 2015 Spending Review up to and including Main Estimates 2023-24. The most recent report was published in July 2023.

Overall, the devolved governments’ funding is at least 20% more per person than equivalent UK Government spending in other parts of the UK and the devolved governments can allocate their funding in devolved areas as they see fit.

Railways: Wales
Asked by: Lord Hain (Labour - Life peer)
Thursday 7th November 2024

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage funding for rail infrastructure spending was allocated to Wales from 2011–12 to the most recent financial year for which figures are available, relative to (1) the total rail infrastructure spending, and (2) population.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

The UK Government is responsible for rail infrastructure across England and Wales. Decisions on investment in rail infrastructure are taken to ensure that the railways are funded to operate safely and efficiently and in line with the strategic goals of the government.

From 2011/12 until 2023/24, the population of Wales represented, on average, 5.26% of the total population in England and Wales. For the same period, an average of 5.03% of the total investment on the conventional rail network in England and Wales (i.e. excluding HS2) was spent on rail infrastructure in Wales.
