Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the (a) internal temperature and (b) ventilation of temporary accommodation cells during hot weather.
This question was answered on 17th June 2020
The temporary accommodation cells are constructed and insulated to be comfortably occupied in all weathers. Each cell is thermally insulated which, along with insulating against cold weather, also stops heat gain. Each cell has a heater that can be controlled from inside the cell and a window that can be opened to provide ventilation and fresh air.
