To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners were released to accommodation in each local authority area in each year since 2015.
Answer
Jake RichardsThis information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. While data on prisoners released into accommodation is held centrally, that is not broken down by Local Authority.
Performance statistics on housing and accommodation outcomes for people supervised by the Probation Service are published annually. These are broken down by probation region and can be accessed via the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/offender-accommodation-outcome-statistics.
