§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by what percentage the differential between the cost per prisoner place in Northern Ireland and that in England and Wales has changed in 2001–02. [45992]
§ Jane KennedyThe cost per prisoner place for 2001–02 will not be available for either Northern Ireland or England and Wales until the figures are collated after the completion of the financial year.
However it is expected that NIPS will achieve its key performance target "to reduce the differential in cost per prisoner place between N. Ireland and England and Wales by 5.7 per cent by March 2002".
