Mr. Litterick
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much recent improvements to Holloway prison have cost; and why, in spite of these renovations, Holloway prison is apparently unable to accommodate all categories of women prisoners.
Dr. Summerskill
Her Majesty's Prison Holloway is being completely rebuilt at an estimated cost of £12 million. Approximately half the new prison has been completed and is now in use. When the rebuilding is complete Holloway will be able to house high security remand prisoners in addition to the wide variety of inmates at present accommodated there.
