4 Sep 2006 : Column 1913W—continued
Mr. Sutcliffe
[holding answer 25 July 2006]: The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) has an outline planning permission for a 600-place prison on the Ashworth south site at Maghull, Merseyside
4 Sep 2006 : Column 1914W
and a detailed permission for a 500-place prison on a site at the Isle of Wight to the west of Parkhurst Prison.
Mr. Clegg:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what contingency plans he has in place to deal with the expected rise in the prison population; and what assessment he has made of the viability of using (a) prison ships, (b) Ministry of Defence facilities, (c) police cells and (d) home detention curfew to deal with this increase. [88485]
John Reid:
An ongoing building programme will deliver around 900 new places at existing prisons in 2007. The prison expansion programme, announced on 20 July 2006, will deliver a further 8,000 new prison places. Contingency planning and alternative options remain under review.
Mr. Clegg:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the (a) capital and (b) annual revenue cost of his plans to build 8,000 new prison places. [88486]
John Reid:
Estimated capital costs for the 8,000-place expansion programme are around £1.5 billion. Estimated annual running costs are expected to be around £0.35 billion once the programme is completed.
Andrew Rosindell:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the ratio of prisoners to prison staff was at each prison in each of the last eight years; and whether he has plans to change this ratio. [88840]
Mr. Sutcliffe:
The number of prisoners to each member of staff in every public sector Prison Service establishment since 1999 is contained in the following table. Ratios are set for each category of establishment but these are not based on all staff; just officer grades who are on operational duty on a particular day. The ratio specifically relates to key points in the daily regime. There are no plans to change these ratios.
| Ratio of total staff to prisoners between 1999 to 2006 in prisons in England and Wales |
| | Number of prisoners to each member of staff( 1, 2, 3) |
| | As at 30 June: | |
| Establishment | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 31 May 2006 |

(1) These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems. Although care is taken when processing and analysing the returns, the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system, and so is not necessarily accurate to the last whole number. (2) Staffing information for the contracted estate is not collated centrally and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Contracted prisons have therefore been excluded from the table. (3 )The staffing figures used in these calculations relate only to staff directly employed by the public sector Prison Service.
