Prisons: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent estimate she has made of the prison maintenance backlog.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
We will shortly be publishing an ad-hoc report on the prison estate conditions survey, which will contain information on the maintenance implications.
HMPPS is investing up to £220 million on maintenance this financial year 2024/25. We will continue to invest in the HMPPS estate in 2025-26, up to £300 million on maintenance to keep prisons safe and secure.
