HMP Liverpool
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 26 June 2026 to Question 10783 on HMP Liverpool: Prison Accommodation, what the full scope of the work is to deliver 306 new places at HMP Liverpool.
Answered by Ministry of Justice
Due to the impact of the original contractor ISG Ltd entering administration, the project has been delayed. A new contractor has been identified and we are working to confirm a new contractual programme, following which timelines will be updated.
The scope is a full wing by wing refurbishment to bring all cells up to current technical standards and bring previously out of use cells back into use. The works include (not exclusive list) damp remediation, door replacement, window upgrade and security grilles, internal cell furniture upgrade and redecoration, safety netting replacement, floor replacement where needed and system upgrades. The scope also includes a range of works relating to ancillaries such as provision of a new workshop to provide uplift in activity places associated with the prisoner uplift.
