Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons and Probation.
Prisons and Probation
The Justice Secretary has announced today that there will be five prisons, each holding 1,500 offenders, but he has identified only two sites: one in Essex and one in metropolitan Essex. Today's Colchester Gazette reports that his Department is looking at three sites in my constituency. Will he explain what consultation has taken place with the local authority and the local Members of Parliament? Will he give us a decision on whether Essex is going to get one of the additional three sites?
