Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Home Office feasibility study on the super-max prison will be published; for how long he has had the study; what are the reasons for the time taken to publish the study; and if he will make a statement.[26670]

Miss Widdecombe

My right hon. and learned Friend has not yet received the final Prison Service report examining the feasibility, costs and benefits of building a maximum security prison to house the most dangerous prisoners in the system and a control prison to hold the most unruly and disruptive prisoners.
