Pentonville Prison

Mr. Bellingham
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will place in the Library a copy of the most recently concluded report of the investigation into allegations of staff corruption at HM Prison Pentonville;

(2) what progress has been made in investigations into alleged staff corruption at HM Prison Pentonville; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sutcliffe
No. It is not Prison Service policy to disclose the contents of internal investigations for reasons of confidentiality. Nine investigation reports have been concluded, and four disciplinary hearings have been opened. Three investigation reports are outstanding.
