To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many contracts for the running of prisons have used the social value clauses in the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 since that Act came into force.
Jeremy Wright
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
Given that the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 came into force in January 2013 there are no current prisons contracts that contain the social value clauses.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
