Ms Quin

Prisoner population pressures continue to require the construction of new establishments. The Prison Service owns the site of the former Ashford Remand Centre and has planning consent for the construction of a new prison. Consideration is currently being given as to how this should be taken forward. I will write to the hon. Member when a decision has been made.
