<p>The Ministry of Justice’s funding from HM Treasury was reported at Spending Review
2015 to fall by 15% between 2015-16 and 2019-20. Taking into account additional resource
funding agreed at the Autumn Statement 2016 for prison safety and wider reform, MoJ’s
funding in real terms will reduce by 11% between 2015-16 and 2019-20. Future years’
budget allocations have not yet been confirmed and therefore it is not currently possible
to provide a breakdown of this reduction by individual areas. MoJ will shortly be
laying its Main Estimate in Parliament, which will provide further detail on our financial
plans for the year 2018-19.</p><p> </p><p>Budgets are subject to in year movement
and organisational restructure. These are not comparable across the long term due
to changes in accounting treatments and scope of business which do not provide a consistent
basis. Therefore we have used the direct outturn costs for prisons for previous financial
years.</p><p> </p><p>Information on actual direct prison expenditure for previous
financial years are published and can be accessed in the Prison and Probation Performance
Statistics pages for each financial year on the <a href="http://www.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a>
website. This is set out in a summary table below, showing the direct published costs
(nominal), the figures adjusted for GDP deflator (real terms) and the annual and cumulative
percentage changes. The GDP figures are consistent with the OBR Spring Statement data
as at 13 March 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The figures from financial years 2010-11 to 2014-15
have been restated following the original publication to enable a more fair comparison
between that and the preceding year. The 2017-18 figures are taken from the budget
for the year as expenditure has not yet been finalised or published.</p><p> </p><p>
