Weare Prison

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice from which heading of his Department's budget the mooring fees for HMP Weare prison ship are paid.
Answer

Weare prison opened in 1997 and closed in 2005. During this period the mooring fees formed part of the running costs of the ship which came from the programme element of the resource funding voted to the Prison Service. From 2005 until the facility's eventual sale in July 2006 the mooring fees were paid for by the National Offender Management Service.
