Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 31 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons Competition.
Prisons Competition
The answer is 11%, and that is one of the many things that surprised me when I started in this office. When I was Home Secretary we introduced the first private prison, HMP Wolds, which was regarded as a flaming political issue—we had crossed the Rubicon and it was a dramatic change. One way in which Britain has modernised is that we have inherited a lot of private finance initiative-financed private prisons, and now we have this open tendering between the two sectors across the country.
