To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effect on public safety in West Dorset of the downgrading of Grade 3 Approved Premises Assistants to Grade 2 at Weston Hostel. (295062)

I have been asked to reply.

Staff grades at the Weston Approved Premises are currently subject to review by Dorset probation area. Any changes will reflect the results of an established job evaluation process and a full assessment of risk.
