Asked by: Munira Wilson (Liberal Democrat - Twickenham)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prison cell fires there were in 2024, broken down by institution.
Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury
The overwhelming majority of the cell fires were considered ‘minor’ and quickly dealt with by staff, and medical assessment is provided for anyone who may have been exposed to smoke or heat. Where it is found that a fire is the result of arson, or of recklessness, the prisoner responsible will face robust punitive action, which can include further criminal charges. All operational staff receive Respiratory Protective Equipment training. Prison officers receive it as part of their Prison Officer Entry Level Training.

Staff are deployed on detached duty as a tactical response to support other prisons when required, to cover staffing shortfalls, or to meet other operation requirements. It provides His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) with a vital contingency measure to assist in maintaining good order and security in prisons.
Despite a challenging labour market, we have seen indications of an improving resource picture nationally within prisons, with a substantial increase of 701 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Band 3-5 Prison officers between June 2022-June 2023. In the same period, we have seen a fall in the resignation rate amongst Band 3-5 officers of 2.6 percentage points, down from 11.5% in June 2022 to 8.9% in June 2023.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the baseline (a) certified normal accommodation and (b) in use operational capacity of each prison was in September 2023.
Answered by Damian Hinds
Certified Normal Accommodation (CNA), or uncrowded capacity, is the Prison Service’s own measure of accommodation. CNA represents the good, decent standard of accommodation that the Service aspires to provide all prisoners. The operational capacity of a prison is the total number of prisoners that an establishment can hold taking into account control, security and the proper operation of the planned regime. It is determined by the Prison Group Directors on the basis of operational judgement and experience.
The population, operational capacity and certified normal accommodation (CNA) level of every prison is published monthly at Prison population figures: 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his oral statement of 30 November 2022 on Prison Capacity, Official Report, column 914, how many out-of-use cells there were at each adult male prison on 2 December 2022.
Answered by Damian Hinds
The total population and capacity of the prison estate is published weekly at Prison population statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). The population and capacity of each individual prison is published monthly at the same link.
On 27 March 2020, the total population was 83,189 and the useable operational capacity of the estate was 85,583. On 2 December 2022, the total population was 82,896 and the useable operational capacity was 84,148.
A table showing the capacity, population and places out of use at each adult male prison on 2 December 2022 has been provided below. Prison capacity can be taken out of use temporarily for a number of reasons.
All new prison capacity is brought into use in a phased and controlled way, so only cells that are available for use are included below. With regard to places out of use, these have only been listed where the losses affect the deliverable operational capacity of the site, and so is limited to sites where losses are not mitigated by other means (e.g. temporary accommodation).
