Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the liquidation of Carillion, how much his Department is spending on prison maintenance.
HMPPS are expecting to spend £121.8m on prison maintenance in 2017-18, this would be the total expenditure across the three facilities management contracts covering Carillion, Amey and Mitie for fixed and variable costs . This prison maintenance spend includes costs for soft services such as landscaping, cleaning and the provision of stores facilities, depending on the scope of the contracts at individual sites.
