My hon. Friend is absolutely right to raise this point. The Government have invested significantly in new capabilities for law enforcement, including our specially trained network of undercover online officers, to arrest offenders committing online child sexual abuse. Co-ordinated National Crime Agency and policing activity against those offenders is currently resulting in over 800 arrests per month, and we have also delivered a further £4.5 million for organisations supporting victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.

Let us just get a few things absolutely clear. We believe in criminals spending longer in custody. It is strange that when there was the opportunity to vote for rapists and serious violent criminals to spend two thirds of their sentence in custody, the hon. Gentleman voted against that. Indeed, I happen to remember, from when I was at the Bar, that his party did exactly the same in the Criminal Justice Act 2003. Whereas previously, people serving sentences over four years would serve two thirds of their sentence in custody, they cut it to half: soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime.

Well, criminals do deserve to be behind bars, which is why I am proud of the fact that when it comes to rape, which is an appalling crime that robs innocence and destroys lives, we have ensured that criminals convicted of that offence get prison sentences a third longer than they did in 2010. I am pleased to be able to record that the numbers convicted of that appalling offence, in the last 12 months for which figures are available, are 10% higher than under the Labour Government.

I express my sincere condolences and deep sorrow to the family of my hon. Friend's young constituent. As he knows, the provisions in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 fulfilled our long-standing commitment to increase the maximum penalty from 14 years to life imprisonment for the offence of causing death by dangerous driving. The Department for Transport is considering the publication of a call for evidence on motoring offences. While work is continuing as to its precise scope and timing, it is expected to include aspects of drink and drug driving and the failure to stop and report, with the opportunity to raise other matters. I encourage my hon. Friend to write to me and the Secretary of State for Transport, and I would be happy to discuss these matters further.

It is absolutely right that the judiciary, who I respect enormously, do justice on the facts before them. If they feel they can do justice and provide a remedy for the crime that has been committed against society through an unpaid work order, some sort of community disposal or a suspended sentence order, that is a matter for them. The volume of unpaid work orders has gone up, and we are very keen to ensure that the rehabilitation or the unpaid work takes place as close as possible to the community that has been offended against, so that if there has been criminal damage or shoplifting, individuals should pay back their debt to the very society that they betrayed. That is what we would invite courts, in the exercise of their independent discretion, to do.

The number of probate cases awaiting a decision for seven weeks or more is roughly 9,135, which represents about 15% of the backlog. The Minister has recruited 100 additional staff members to help clear complex cases.

The outstanding caseload is continuing to diminish as we increase the number of judges, with 1,000 more judges this year and next. Court capacity has been increased without a cap on sitting days, and there are now 24 Nightingale courts.

Getting offenders and ex-offenders into work has a material impact on reducing reoffending rates. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State explained that there is an opportunity to maximise this due to the tightness of the labour market.

These are sensitive constitutional issues. I should be happy to write to the hon. Gentleman.

My right hon. Friend the Member for East Hampshire has talked about this a little. It is very important for people within jails to be given the chance to connect with opportunities outside.

The review would be led by the Government Equalities Office. On transgender prisoners, my approach is that transgender women can only be held on the main women's estate if risk-assessed to be safe.

My hon. Friend is right. Crime is crime, and cultural sensitivities should play no part in the police's enthusiasm for cracking down on it. 20,000 additional police officers have been recruited to fulfil the Government's manifesto commitment.

The hon. Gentleman will be aware that the Court of Appeal considered carefully the scope of the law of joint enterprise to ensure it catches only people who are truly culpable. There are currently no plans to reform the law, but I would consider any sensitive matter he wishes to raise.

My hon. Friend is an excellent recruiting sergeant for HMP Aylesbury. Prison officers are remarkable people who do a difficult job, and through a £100 million scheme, every prison officer has body-worn video to ensure accountability.

This country shows its humane, decent and fair nature through welcoming 500,000 people fleeing persecution since 2015. However, ensuring this humane instinct is not undermined requires fairness in treating those who traffic people or arrive illegally.

The Department ensures that those who leave custody have a guaranteed 12 weeks of accommodation and are supported to rebuild relationships, find employment, address mental health or drug issues. This includes pilot schemes ensuring support for armed service personnel.

I offer to meet the hon. Gentleman to talk through that detailed case.
