(asked on 16th November 2023) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent estimate he has made of the maintenance backlog across the public-sector prison estate.
This question was answered on 21st November 2023
We are continuing to invest in the prison estate to ensure that prisons remain safe and secure.
In addition, we are currently undertaking a programme of surveys across the public sector prison estate and a sample of the privately managed prisons which will provide a much more detailed understanding of the condition of the fabric and critical infrastructure in prisons including the backlog of maintenance works.
