Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, Pursuant to the Answer of 13 June 2018 to Question 150725 on Prisons: Standards, how much additional money has been allocated to the prisons in special measures in each of the last four financial years.

Special measures means HM Prisons and Probation Service has determined a prison needs additional, specialist support to improve its performance. Any additional funding provided is drawn from a range of business as usual budgets. It is not possible to identify, from those budgets, a single figure showing how much has been used to help provide support to prisons in special measures.
