Department for International Development: Wales
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many companies based in Wales had contracts from her Department in (a) 2017-18 and (b) 2018-19; and what the value of each such contract was.
<p>In 2017-2018 two Welsh based organisations had a live contract and a grant worth £6.7 million. In 2018-19 there were no companies registered in Wales awarded DFID contracts.</p><p>DFID are undertaking a schedule of regional Open for Business events across the country to help local businesses make the most of opportunities to deliver UK Aid. An Open for Business event took place in Cardiff last year and was attended by 52 Welsh companies. These events are an opportunity for two-way communication to encourage companies to compete for DFID business to share their vital skills and expertise and understand the simplified process for contract applications.</p>
Cannabis: Prosecutions
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were charged with possession of cannabis in each year since 2010.
<p>The Home Office routinely publishes information on charges and other resolutions, such as cannabis warnings, of crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales. Offences involving the production and distribution of cannabis are subsumed within the general category of "Trafficking in controlled drugs" and data on the number of such offences that have resulted in a charge or summons between 2010 and 2018 are available in the Crime Outcomes open data tables at <br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables%20." target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables .</a></p><p>The same tables provide data on the number of possession of cannabis offences that have resulted in a charge or summons.</p><p> </p>
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate his Department has made of the number of individuals charged with crimes involving the production of cannabis for each year between 2010 to 2018.

Reoffenders: Cannabis
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate his Department has made of the rate of recidivism for individuals charged with crimes involving the possession of cannabis for each year between 2010 to 2018.
<p>Please see the relevant tables attached. Note in the data that reoffending is measured using a one-year follow-up period and a further six month waiting period. Rates are, therefore, only available for cohorts up until January to March 2017.</p><p>For those whose offences are linked to cannabis usage, NHS England and Local Health Boards in Wales, who are responsible for commissioning substance misuse services in prisons, offer a broad range of services to address substance misuse. It is for health providers to decide the appropriate treatment on a case by case basis.</p><p>Further, for prisons in England the updated April 2018 NHS England Substance Misuse Service Specification for prisons sets out evidence-based services that should be commissioned to address the health and justice needs of prisoners, including the prevention of re-offending.</p><p>Those convicted of possession, production or supply of cannabis may also be suitable for an accredited offending behaviour programme or similar intervention which addresses needs related to an individual's offending, for example attitudes, thinking and behaviour.</p><p>In addition, we are addressing some of the barriers to rehabilitation through the Education and Employment strategy we published last May. For example, we are giving governors local power and control, enabling them to commission education provision that leads to work; through the New Futures Network (NFN), we are engaging with employers to take on ex-prisoners; and we have consulted on proposals to increase the opportunities available to prisoners to gain experience in real workplaces through Release On Temporary Licence.</p>
