Proceeding contribution from Matthew Offord (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 31 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons Competition.


Prisons Competition

I welcome the statement, and agree that there is consensus in the House about this. I see that three of the four contracts mentioned today are being awarded to the private sector. Could the Secretary of State please advise the House of the percentage of prisons in England and Wales that are currently run by the private sector?
