Written Question
Jamaica: Prisons
Tuesday 3rd April 2018

Asked by: David Hanson (Labour - Delyn)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much funding the Government has allocated to the costs of a new prison in Jamaica since September 2015; and what the status is of the construction of that prison.

Answered by Alistair Burt

In January 2017 the Government of Jamaica formally declined the UK Government’s offer to support the costs of building a new prison in Jamaica. No cost allocation has therefore been made.


Written Question
Developing Countries: Prisons
Thursday 29th March 2018

Asked by: David Hanson (Labour - Delyn)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much overseas development aid funding has been allocated to the construction of prisons in each country in receipt of such funding since 2010.

Answered by Harriett Baldwin

DFID does not collate figures on how much ODA funding has been specifically allocated to prison construction. However, we have supported the reform and rehabilitation of prisons in developing countries, such as £2.3 million in Somalia.
