As the Deputy will be aware the Government recently reconfirmed its commitment to developing a new prison campus at Thornton Hall. The revised plans for the new prison complex aim to protect the taxpayers' interests and provide good quality, regime focussed accommodation. The detailed design for the new revised prison complex will now be finalised. I am not in a position, at this point in time, to say what precise range of facilities will be provided.
