To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Answer of 25 April 2022 to Question 158877 on Wormwood Scrubs Prison: Prison Governors, if he will place a copy of the security assessment in the Library; and if he will list vulnerabilities identified by the security assessment.

As with all proposals for new uses of Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) sites we have drawn up a site mitigation assessment plan. This ensures we have given full consideration of issues related to physical security, and other vulnerabilities such as estate boundaries, personal safety of staff and residents, and use of technology. It is not possible to place a copy of the assessment in the library nor to publish a list of vulnerabilities as this would compromise security and public safety.
