HL Deb 04 March 1999 vol 597 c204WA
Lord Dholakia

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether contracts with Prison Escort Services and Immigration Detention Centres are affected by Wackenhut (UK) Ltd's decision to withdraw from the contracts to run Her Majesty's Prison Coldingley. [HL1207]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

No. The difficulties which caused Wackenhut (UK) Ltd to terminate the contract to operate prison industries at Coldingley were specific to that operation and do not affect other contracts in which Wackenhut is involved.
