To ask Her Majesty's Government what proportion of the total budget allocated to HM Prisons and Probation Service as part of the COVID-19 Special Payment Scheme has so far been allocated (1) to prisons, and (2) to probation.
This question was answered on 28th July 2020
A budget has not been yet allocated to HM Prisons and Probation Service for the COVID-19 Special Payment Scheme.
