Written question asked by Philip Davies (Conservative) on Wednesday, 12 February 2020, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 24 February 2020. It was answered by Lucy Frazer (Conservative) on Tuesday, 25 February 2020 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Prisoners' Release

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much was spent by HM Prisons (a) Leeds and (b) Wakefield on calculating the release date of prisoners in the latest period for which figures are available; and how many people are employed by each of those prisons to carry out those calculations.

Answer

The calculation of release dates for prisoners forms part of the overall role of a number of Offender Management Unit (OMU) prison staff. These staffing costs are not collated or broken down separately by function and, as a result, it is not possible to provide the figures requested.
