Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the prisons estate.
This question was answered on 7th July 2023
We received almost £4 billion of funding at SR21 to deliver 20,000 additional, modern prison places, ensuring the right conditions are in place to rehabilitate prisoners, helping to cut crime and protect the public. We continue to invest in prison maintenance so that existing places remain in use and are safe.
