To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the cost to the public purse has been of (a) hotel and (b) other expenses for prison officers on detached duty in each month since January 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the cost to the public purse has been of (a) hotel and (b) other expenses for prison officers on detached duty in each month since January 2018.
Prison officers do a challenging and vital job to help protect the public and we are committed to making sure we have enough staff to deliver safe regimes in our prisons.
Detached duty (DD) is one of the sensible and proportionate measures taken to ensure the safe and decent running of regimes in prisons, and respond appropriately to any operational issues that arise. The deployment of staff between prisons on detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing and the number of prison officers deployed will reflect operational circumstances.
When there is a need to accommodate staff in hotels, we work hard to ensure the best possible value for money for the taxpayer and have controls in place to help keep costs to a minimum. Where possible, bookings are for specifically timed trains and always in standard class to help keep costs to a minimum.
The Government is investing £2.75bn to modernise and maintain our prisons, create 10,000 additional places, and step up security to stop the flow of drugs and mobile phones.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times the National Tactical Response Group has been called to each prison in each year since 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times the National Tactical Response Group has been called to each prison in each year since 2010.
The National Tactical Response Group (NTRG) has been called to each prison in each year since 2010 is provided in the attached document.
The NTRG provides additional support staff or resources to prisons to help them deal with a variety of incidents. The overwhelming majority of call outs are for non-violent incidents, including where they attended as a precaution and when the situation was resolved locally.
We do not tolerate violence or disruptive behaviour in our prisons. We’ve recruited around 4,300 additional officers since October 2016 and are spending an extra £100 million on airport-style security, x-ray scanners and phone-blocking technology. This is part of the Government’s new £2.75bn investment to modernise and maintain our prisons, create 10,000 additional places, and step up security to stop the flow of drugs and mobile phones.
We are also committed to ensuring our prison officers have the tools they need to do the job safely with body worn cameras, ‘police-style’ handcuffs and restraints, and PAVA incapacitant spray.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department uses criteria to decide whether an international deployment of the armed forces is (a) combat and (b) non-combat.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department uses criteria to decide whether an international deployment of the armed forces is (a) combat and (b) non-combat.
All deployments and situations are different, because of this it would be very difficult to create a defined list of criteria to cover every scenario. Missions can also change over time, for example a deployment to provide humanitarian aid could escalate to civil unrest and the military need to be able to quickly and flexibly respond to those situations.

US troop movements have always been a matter for the US Government and not for us to comment.
With regards to the wider counter-Daesh campaign, the UK remains fully committed to the long-term security of the region and to the Global Coalition. Together, we must not lose sight of the threat that Daesh still pose in the region.
The UK and US have both made clear our deep regret at the unilateral Turkish military incursion in north east Syria and we remain in close contact.
