Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether work to deliver the expansion at HMP Guy's Marsh has recommenced since 20 September 2024.

At HMPs Guys Marsh, Kirklevington Grange, Warren Hill and the new prison in Buckinghamshire, work remains ongoing following ISG’s administration in September 2024. Pre-construction work is either underway or complete at these sites, including design work, and all have been appointed a new contractor.

40 Rapid Deployment Cells have been delivered at HMP The Verne and are operational.
