Supported Housing: Birmingham

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many non-Birmingham residents have been placed in supported exempt accommodation in Birmingham by HM Prison and Probation Service in each of the last five years.

Answered by Jake Richards

Many placements of persons subject to probation supervision are made by local authorities. Without incurring disproportionate cost, it would not be possible to determine, in each case, whether a placement had been made by H M Prison & Probation Service.
