We will continue to closely monitor Carillion’s performance and have robust processes in place to ensure they are fulfilling their contractual requirements.

It is right that prison repair work is carried out in a timely and effective manner to ensure public protection. We always work to ensure we achieve value for money for the taxpayer and keep our costs under review.
