Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 4 July 2018 to Question 157827 on Amey, whether additional funding was allocated to Amey after contracts with the company were reset after the HMP Liverpool inspection report in January 2018.

Additional funding has not been allocated to the core fixed fee work elements of the Amey contracts after the HMP Liverpool inspection report. Nevertheless, the volume of variable fee work at HMP Liverpool has increased over the last few months as the outstanding maintenance issues at the prison are addressed.
