Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment her Department has made of the effect on the future operations of HM Prison Cardiff of the development of a new prison in Port Talbot.
This question was answered on 30th March 2017
We are investing £1.3bn to build up to 10,000 new prison places which will replace places in ageing and ineffective prisons, providing buildings fit for today’s demands and able to support effective rehabilitation.
On 22 March we announced plans to build four new prisons in Yorkshire, Wigan, South Wales and Rochester. No decisions have been made about HMPYOI Cardiff and Swansea.
