Prisons: Wales

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will take steps to keep local elected representatives informed of progress in the construction of a prison in North Wales.

Answer

The prison will be a huge benefit to the region. Once operational it is estimated that the prison will create around 1,000 jobs and boost the local economy by around £23m per year.

Members of Parliament from North Wales have been kept informed at key project milestones or of issues of regional interest including site selection, identification of a preferred contractor and a local supplier event. I will continue to ensure that Members are kept informed at future key milestones.
