I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
In the Government response to the consultation ‘Getting it Right for Victims and Witnesses’ we said we would provide an outcomes-based commissioning framework for use by Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs). Its content will be developed with the involvement of interested parties including the voluntary sector and PCCs themselves. While PCCs will not be compelled to use the framework our intention is that they will find the advice and information it contains helpful as they undertake the task of commissioning victims' services that are right for their areas.
The Government values the hard work and commitment of providers of victims' services. As the new commissioning arrangements develop Ministers will be happy to meet with providers of victims' services when it would be helpful to do so.
(2) if she will meet with providers of victim support services to discuss future arrangements for the delivery of such services when commissioned by police and crime commissioners.

On 2 July 2012 the Government announced in its response to the consultation “Getting it Right for Victims and Witnesses” that by 2015, Police and Crime Commissioners will be responsible for commissioning the bulk of victims' services. There is more work to be done before we can say how much will be allocated to each area.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice pursuant to the answer of 18 June 2012, Official Report, columns 677-8W, on prisoners: repatriation, what the average cost was to the public purse of repatriating each foreign national prisoner.
[113309]
Costs associated with the transfer of a prisoner i.e. flights, and escort costs, are met by the receiving state unless otherwise agreed. Since 2007, NOMS has met the cost of transferring eight foreign national prisoners to their country of origin at an average cost of £3,804.48. Costs associated with the transfer of all other foreign national prisoners during this period were met by the receiving state. Costs associated with the detention of the prisoner following transfer fall to the receiving state.

The administration of a prisoner's sentence following repatriation is a matter for the laws of the administering state. As a consequence, release from custody may take place earlier or later than would have been the case had they remained in the United Kingdom.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many foreign national offenders received cautions in each of the last five years.
[112129]
The Ministry of Justice receives information on offenders cautioned from the 43 police forces across England and Wales, via the police national computer (PNC). The nationality of an offender receiving a caution is not routinely collected on PNC unless it pertains to the particulars of the case. Therefore it is not possible to provide with any degree of accuracy the number of foreign national offenders who received cautions in each of the last five years.

The following table gives the number of community orders previously issued to each of the 10 offenders who received community sentences for an
indictable or a trial either way offence in the 12-month period to the end of September 2011 and who had most community sentences previously recorded on the Police National Computer (PNC).
The figures presented in the table are a further breakdown of Table Q7.5 of ‘Criminal Justice Statistics Quarterly Update to September 2011’ by the Ministry of Justice based on the dataset used for that production. The further breakdown has been derived using the dataset for the production of the full report of Criminal Justice Statistics which can be found at:
