HC Deb 17 March 2003 vol 401 cc588-91W
Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which PFI funded prisons have payments to the contractors related to reoffending rates. [101763]

Hilary Benn

A performance bonus can be paid to Premier Prison Services Ltd if the contractor reduces recidivism in respect of the proportion of prisoners at the therapeutic community at Dovegate prison who have undertaken at least 15 months therapy in the community. They must also not have committed an offence within 12 months of release from custody; There has been insufficient tame for a bonus to become payable because the therapeutic community only opened in November 2001.

Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the average cost per year of a prisoner held in(a) PFI funded and ( b) non PFI funded prisons in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [101764]

Hilary Benn

The average cost per prisoner held in Private Finance Initiative (PFI) funded and non PFI funded prisons in each of the last three years is shown, in the table.

These figures are establishment costs only and exclude any share of Headquarters overheads. Establishment cost per prisoner figures cannot therefore be compared with the overall Prison Service cost per prisoner figure, which includes all expenditure.

The figures for 1999–2000 and 2000–01 are expressed in cash terms, with those for 2001–02 expressed in resource terms.

* PFI prisons

Notes:

1. Buckley Hall and Blakenhurst reverted to public sector management in 2000–01 and 2001–02 respectively.

2. Ashfield and Rye Hill opened in 1999–2000 and 2000–01 respectively. Part year performance is not reported.

Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment his Department has made of the proportion of savings realised from PFI funded prisons which are due to(a) capital costs and (b) running costs in the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [101762]

Hilary Benn

Savings in private finance initiative (PFI) prison projects are expressed as the percentage difference between the Net Present Value of each project compared with its Public Sector Comparator; the Net Present Value of a project is its discounted value over the duration of the contract. Savings made in respect of the seven PFI funded prisons are shown in the following table.

Percentage
Altcourse 17
Ashfield 14
Dovegate 17
Forest Bank 16
Lowdham Grange 14
Pare 1
Rye Hill 16

It is not possible to separate capital and running costs because a single unitary charge is paid to the contractor in respect of the total cost of each prison.
