Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much his Department has allocated to improve prison buildings in England and Wales.
This question was answered on 18th October 2017
The Ministry of Justice resource and capital budget for major (centrally funded) investment in existing prison buildings for 2017/18 is £93.7m.
The Government stated its ambition for the prison estate transformation programme in the November 2016 Prison Safety and Reform White Paper, which set out that we want a prison estate that is less crowded, better organised, and that is increasingly made up of modern, fit for purpose accommodation.
