Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 31 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons Competition.


Prisons Competition

As the Prisons Minister at the time the decision was made to undertake the market testing, I can confirm that we not only undertook the market testing but encouraged public sector bids. Now that those public sector bids have failed in Birmingham, could the Justice Secretary tell the House what will happen to the assets of Birmingham and Doncaster prisons? What is the cost of the TUPE arrangements? Will it be borne by the private sector contractor? If there are redundancies, will it be the Ministry of Justice that bears them?
