Prisoners on Release (Hansard, 26 January 2004)

§ Andrew Mackinlay
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the monetary grant made available to prisoners on release from gaol is different if a prisoner provides no fixed abode as their address. [149518]

§ Paul Goggins
[holding answer 21 January 2004]A higher rate of discharge grant (£94.40) is paid to prisoners on release only if there is a need to seek, obtain and pay for accommodation. It is only paid to prisoners with no accommodation arranged in advance if this arises through no fault of the prisoner. Otherwise the standard rates of discharge grant paid are £46.75 (for prisoners aged 25 and older) or £37 (for prisoners aged 18 to 24).

§ Andrew Mackinlay
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners were released from gaol in the most recent year for which figures are available. [149521]
