The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent assessment she has made of the potential merits of insourcing the work currently undertaken by Government Facilities Services Limited.

Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin

The Government is committed to ensuring professional Facility Management services across its prison estate. Our approach to securing delivery will be set out later this year.

Ministry of Justice officials regularly engage with Trade Union officials on the Lord Chancellor’s behalf regarding the future of Gov Facility Services Limited and the delivery of facilities management services across the Prison and Probations estate.
