Prisons (Hansard, 24 July 2002)

§ Mr. Andrew Turner
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the key performance targets are for training in each prison, broken down by category; and to what extent those targets have been met in the last 12 months for which information is available. [62379]

§ Mr. Hilary Benn
Prisons agree an annual target for the average number of hours per week that prisoners should spend in purposeful activity. This includes activities aimed at reducing crime such as work, education and resettlement. Targets are not set separately for each component part of the measure.
The 2001–02 targets for each prison, with actual performance analysed by broad heading are given in the table. Figures are subject to rounding.
