Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much funding his Department has provided for education in prisons in England and Wales in the 2022-23 financial year; and what this funding has been spent on.

The full details on financial spend during this period will only be available following reconciliation which will be undertaken during financial year 2023-24.

In Wales, prison education is a devolved responsibility to the Welsh Government therefore we are unable to provide these figures.
