Prisons: Energy Supply

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of works with (a) UK Power Networks and (b) other electrical supply contractors to install additional power to the (i) HMP Grendon and (ii) HMP Springhill site area; and how much and what proportion of that cost is for use by (A) existing prisons and (B) planned prisons which do not have planning permission.

Answer

Negotiations are ongoing with UK Power Network and Western Power Distribution; any estimates are commercially sensitive, and their release would risk prejudicing our negotiating position.
