To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he has plans to allocate funding for facilities at HMP Dartmoor.

In December 2021, HMPPS agreed the principal terms of a new lease with the Duchy of Cornwall. Subject to final agreement, HMP Dartmoor will remain operational as a prison beyond the end of 2023, when the existing lease expires. This will protect jobs in the rural south-west of England, as well as preserving 640 much-needed prison places. I am committed to ensuring that conditions in Dartmoor are fit for purpose. HMPPS will deliver a number of significant infrastructure upgrades to improve physical conditions, following agreement of the lease. These include major investment in roof and gate upgrades, as well as planned work to replace all lighting across the prison.
