To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to Annual Report of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Wandsworth, published on 21 October 2021, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of disability accessible accommodation capacity at HMP Wandsworth.

In addition to the dedicated healthcare cells located on Jones wing, there are a further seven cells in HMP Wandsworth that are adapted to provide accessibility for prisoners who require wheelchair access. Two of these cells were recently adapted as part of the Governor’s drive to improve accessibility for prisoners with a mobility disability within HMP Wandsworth.
