Question to the Ministry of Justice:
What progress he has made on the sale of the Camp Hill prison site to Isle of Wight Council.
We have commissioned a demolition survey of the former prison results should hopefully be available, in late July.
The Camp Hill element of HM Prison Isle of Wight closed on 31 March 2013. In summer 2014, the then Secretary of State decided that the former prison sites at Camp Hill, Reading and Wellingborough would be retained in case they offered a useful contingency option to deal with population pressures. The site was released for disposal on 10 January 2017.
