§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) who(a) designed, (b) will carry out the construction and (c) are the civil engineers for the new prison facility to be built alongside Her Majesty's youth custody centre, Everthorpe;
(2) who will staff the new prison facility to be built alongside Her Majesty's youth custody centre, Everthorpe;
(3) what will be the completed size, function and predicted cost of the new prison facility to be built alongside Her Majesty's youth custody centre, Everthorpe; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggTenders have recently been received for the design and construction of a remand centre for 300 inmates next to Her Majesty's young offenders institution Everthorpe, and are being considered. Pending decisions on these tenders it is not possible to say what might be the cost of the centre, or who might design and build it. The scheme has been developed so that the centre could form an addition to the prison estate, and as such it would be staffed by members of the prison service.
