Prisons: Operating Costs

Volume 494: debated on Tuesday 16 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much was spent on the running costs of each (a) private and (b) public sector prison in England and Wales in each year since 1990. (271677)

The information requested spans a period of 19 years and requires information on over 130 prisons, which due to changes in structures, funding sources and accounting principles over this time is neither straightforward to produce nor comparable. These data are not held centrally. However some information can be found in the Prison Service annual report and accounts which shows direct spend at prisons each year back to 1994-95 and copies of which are available in the Library of both Houses of Parliament. Current budgets for each prison in 2008-09 is shown in the table.
