Peter Bone – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Peter Bone on 2014-06-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will re-open HMP Wellingborough to increase prison capacity.

Jeremy Wright

As this Government has made previously clear, we will not take any steps to dispose of the mothballed HM Prison Wellingborough because it is sensible measure to retain reserve capacity. I have no immediate plans to change that status.

My office will be in touch to arrange a meeting to further discuss this matter further.
