Ministry of Justice: Written Questions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March 2018 to Question 130238, on Prison Officers, what is estimate his Department has made of the cost of answering that question.
- Answer
-
The requested information is not recorded centrally as this is not a business requirement. In respect of cost related to collate the information requested, we would need to check individual records for the past 12 months; estimated to be around 7,280 records. The time taken to complete this work would far exceed the Department’s cost limit of £850 for answering a parliamentary question. We estimate a minimum cost of around £14,000 to create and collate this information separately.
