Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the document entitled, COVID-19: National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services, published on 2 June 2020, if he will publish recovery frameworks for (a) women’s prisons and (b) the youth custody estate.

The COVID-19: National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services covers the whole prison estate, including both the women’s and the youth custody estate, where tailored Exceptional Delivery Models (EDMs) are currently being developed. It is our intention to publish EDMs in due course and when they have all been completed.
