To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many sentenced prisoners in England and Wales are on the (a) basic, (b) standard and (c) enhanced privilege level of the incentives and earned privileges scheme. (193228)

The recorded data for the incentives and earned privileges scheme (IEPS) does not differentiate between sentenced and unsentenced prisoners, and is recorded on a separate system. It shows a shortfall against the published population data and is only used to provide indicators for monitoring, at a national level, the operation of the system.

The data provided by this system are set out in the following table. The figures are for the average numbers on each level over a period of 10 months to January 2008.
