I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I note that this question was asked on 22 August,
so it is relevant as of that date.
(1)–(2) The
out-of-cell hours key performance indicator is necessary to measure the
performance of prisons in the adult estate. Out-of-cell hours in the youth
estate are recorded and have previously been provided to Parliament. The
department's objectives in maximising out-of-cell hours for juveniles
differ from the benchmarking of performance within the adult estate.
(3) Not applicable.
