Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the accuracy of the repair rate reported by Amey for work completed at prisons where that company has a contract for facilities management.
The Department scrutinises reactive maintenance performance data on a monthly basis. Any discrepancies or concerns are identified to Amey. Private providers play an important role in maintaining the prison estate. Performance of all providers is closely monitored and we will not hesitate to take action where standards fall short.
