§ Mr. OatenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Prison Service annual report for 2003–04 will contain statistical data on the performance of contracted prisons against key performance indicators; and if he will make a statement. [181518]
§ Paul GogginsThe Prison Service is no longer responsible for the performance of contracted prisons and so the Service's Annual Report does not contain data on the performance of these prisons. The aggregate performance of all prisons in England and Wales, and details of the performance of contracted prison estate are set out in the written ministerial statement I made on 15 July. Details of the performance of individual establishments will be published at a later date.
