Williams of Mostyn, Lord
- Question
- Statement on conclusions reached about future private sector involvement in the Prison Service. - Includes fact that have inherited a prison population rising sharply with expenditure provision for new prisons limited to establishments to be designed, constructed, managed and financed by the private sector. We have therefore decided to proceed with existing procurement plans to provide additional new places on this basis by 1999-2000 and also authorised the renewal of the contract for the operation of Her Majesty's Prison Blakenhurst with the private sector operator. The contract with Group 4 to operate court escort and custody service is extended.
