Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 13 December 2018 to Question 199452 on Prisons: Standards, how much of the identified spending was allocated to each of the 10 prisons in that project in each month.

Further to the Secretary of State for Justice’s answer to Question 199452, where he provided a monthly breakdown of the £10m funding allocation for the 10 Prisons Project, from start of September 2018 to end of March 2019, Annex A breaks down the funding allocation by each of the 10 prisons.

The funding allocation differs slightly between prisons, due to the Department flexing and reprioritising funding where it is needed most in our prisons, to tackle violence and abusive behaviour, increase our security against drugs, and provide additional investment in leadership. The funding has remained broadly consistent at c£1m per prison.
