Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, on what date the Prison Education Framework contract will be updated to account for inflation; and which inflation figure will be used when updating that contract.

Indexation is applied on 1 April each year under the Prison Education Framework contract terms. Any adjustments are based on the most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation value published before the 1 April indexation point which is typically the value published in March each year.
