National Offender Management Information System: Finance

Nick Herbert
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much public money has been (a) committed and (b) expended on the C-NOMIS project.

Mr. Hanson
The original business case for the system was based on lifetime costs to March 2020 of £234 million and expenditure to the end of July 2007 was £155 million. I have instituted a moratorium on further development work while the review of the NOMIS programme is underway.
