Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps her Department is taking to re-open HMP Dartmoor.
This question was answered on 24th July 2025
Elevated radon readings were first found at Dartmoor in 2020. HMPPS have been monitoring radon levels to manage exposure to prisoners and staff.
Dartmoor has been temporarily closed since August 2024 after monitoring results were higher than expected. We are working with specialist radon experts to investigate whether we can re-open the prison safely.
