Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 16 April 2019 to Question 243531 on Prisons: Contracts, and with reference to House Commons Library Deposited Paper, DEP2019-0487, Model for Operational Delivery: New Resettlement Prisons, Version 1.8, April 2019, if he will publish all previous versions of that document which have been made available to potential private prison contractors.

The document placed in the house library pursuant to question 243531 is the most recent and up to date version of the Model for Operational Delivery. It can be used by bidders to develop their bids as part of the mini competition for Wellingborough. We do not consider it useful to publish all previous versions of this document and do not intend to do so.
