PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Prisoner Escapes (2 July 2020)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the size of the reporting population under her Department's Reporting and Offender Management process was in the latest quarter for which figures are available; and how many people in that population were declared to have absconded.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

The Home Office does not hold the information you have requested in a reportable format. Reporting as a condition of bail was paused on 23 March 2020 in line with PHE advice. Since closing to the public, we have embarked on a programme of contact with those required to report using telephone, SMS and email. The size of the reporting population is not regularly published under national statistics because it tends to continually fluctuate.
