Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many cellular devices have been confiscated from prisons in each of the last five years by establishment.
Answered by Jeremy Wright
Since April 2010, prisons have been asked to send all unauthorised phones and SIM cards found to a central unit for interrogation, or to notify the unit if an unauthorised phone or SIM card has been found but not sent for analysis. Data prior to April 2010 is not held centrally and data for 2013 and 2014 is being verified and is not yet available.
The table below shows the number seizures of mobile phones and/or SIM cards reported by each prison between April 2010 and December 2012. One seizure may constitute a handset containing one SIM card or media card, a handset only, or a SIM card only.

Asked by: Andrew Percy (Conservative - Brigg and Goole)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions he has had with mobile telephone operators on operators terminating accounts shown to be illegally active within the HM prison estate.
Answered by Jeremy Wright
On 5 March 2014, together with my hon Friend the member for Staffordshire Moorlands, I met with representatives from the major mobile phone network operators as part of a new government-industry working group to discuss ways to tackle illicit mobile phone use in prisons. Since that meeting, the National Offender Management Service is continuing to work with the networks to further explore options for disabling mobile phones proven to be operating in prisons.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has to roll out mobile telephone blocking technology across HM prisons estate.
Answered by Jeremy Wright
The National Offender Management Service is committed to addressing the risks that mobile phones present in prisons. Part of its response is to deploy technology in prisons that prevents mobile phones from working.
In 2012 the government enacted the Prisons (Interference with Wireless Telegraphy) Act 2012. The Act places the use of mobile phone signal interference technology in prisons on a clear legal footing, enabling maximum use of such technology and to enable private prisons to use it.
A number of prisons are equipped with ‘fixed' (as opposed to ‘portable') signal interference technology. Since 21 October 2013 around 300 short-range portable blockers have been deployed to 88 public sector prisons.
