Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what changes have been made to his Department's capital expenditure plans as a result of Budget 2018.
In Budget 2018, the Ministry of Justice received £52m additional funding, for which the allocation between resource and capital will be confirmed within the Supplementary Estimate.
This will fund £30m of further improvements to safety, security and decency, £15 million on the maintenance and security of our court buildings, and another £6.5 million to be invested across the wider justice system, including a further £1.5 million for the Parole Board to boost its operational capacity.
The Treasury have also committed to funding the cost of building a new prison at Glen Parva in Leicestershire.
