Prisons: Security
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 3 April 2019 to Question 237103 on Prisons: Security, (a) what the cost was and (b) who funded the installation of the X-ray body scanners at (i) Altcourse, (ii) Belmarsh, (iii) Doncaster, (iv) Forest Bank, (v) Holme House, (vi) Leeds, (vii) Northumberland, and (viii) Peterborough prisons.
- Answer
-
I am unfortunately unable to disclose any financial information in relation to the provision of these scanners within the prison estate as it is commercially sensitive. The Ministry of Justice is currently engaged in a procurement exercise to enable future purchase of this equipment and any declaration of cost and values may prejudice the outcome of this exercise.
I am able to confirm, however, that the Ministry of Justice funded the purchase and installation of the scanners for all public sector prisons but did not contribute to the cost of purchase or install of the equipment for any of the privately-managed prisons.
