Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners HM Prison Berwyn plans to receive over the next 12 months; and what the estimated operating cost is for the first 12 months of that prison being open to prisoners.
By the end of March 2018, it is planned that there will be 2010 men in HMP Berwyn. This will be subject to operational need.
The planned operating costs for this period are estimated to be approximately £23.5m.
Healthcare provision and learning and skills is the responsibility of Welsh Government and is therefore excluded from this calculation.
