HMP Camp Hill: Closures
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what reason was cited for the closure of HMP Camp Hill and on what date was that decision taken.
Answered by Ministry of Justice
The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. To determine the specific rationale and internal decision date for each prison closure, the Department would need to identify and review historical records relating to closure decisions across 22 prisons over a number of years, and the cost of doing so would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.
