Can the Minister confirm that 200 sets of prison keys have been lost since 2010? Does he think that that is good prison management?
Andrew Selous
I answered a parliamentary question on this matter, so the hon. Gentleman probably knows the answer to his question. Regrettably, keys are lost from time to time. The largest loss was by G4S, so there was no cost to the taxpayer, but it is obviously regrettable and we do not want it to happen. We investigate fully and will try to minimise it as much as possible.
