Mr. Sproat

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what latest estimate he has made of the average cost of building a new prison; and if he will give the approximate number of prisoners a prison costing this amount is designed to hold.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The cost of building a new prison varies depending on the type of prisoners it is to hold, its location, the ground conditions, the level of security required and other factors. The current estimated average cost of a new local prison for 600 prisoners is about £75 million, but in any particular case the actual cost will depend on the outcome of a competitive tendering exercise.
