Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of a potential successor to the T60 houseblock design.

We are not currently developing a successor to the T60 houseblock design. We monitor the capability of the T60 design to respond to emerging challenges such as climate change and prison population growth, and an alternative design would be developed at the point in which the T60 can no longer respond to these challenges. Any successor to the T60 design is expected to build on and improve the existing model.
