Prisons: Expenditure Cuts

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what response they have made to the comments in reports of the Independent Monitoring Board on HM Prisons Grendon and Spring Hill about the effect of cuts on both prisons and the effect on HMP Spring Hill of having short-term prisoners who may not engage with resettlement services.
Answer

Following the general election and the subsequent need to look closely at spending decisions, responses to a number of IMB reports have been delayed. The boards will receive a response as soon as possible. I am grateful to the boards for the work they do.
