HMP Latchmere House
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what information his Department holds on the investment it provided to improving the physical condition of the prison estate at HMP Latchmere between 1997-2010.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Justice does not hold total figures for investment in improving the physical condition of prisons between 1997 and 2010.
During that period, expenditure on the prison estate took a number of forms, including centrally managed maintenance and development programmes, locally-funded maintenance activity, and capital investment. These categories of expenditure were recorded using multiple systems, and the methods of recording changed over time.
As a result, the Department is unable to provide a consistent and reliable figure for investment in the physical condition of individual prison establishments during the specified period.
