uin	HL8362
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2023 answer text <p>The attached table shows the annual education budget for each public sector prison in England and Wales in 2022-23. The total includes core education provider funding, library provision, the Dynamic Purchasing System budget (which the Governor can use flexibly to fund provision to meet particular local needs), and the information advice and guidance budget. The figures do not include other sources of funding that can be separately bid for, such as the Employment Innovation Fund.</p><p>Education budget totals for the following privately-managed prisons are also included in the table: HMP Doncaster, HMP Northumberland, HMP Oakwood, and HMP Thameside. The education budgets for these establishments form part of the Authority Education Framework Contract and can therefore be disaggregated from the overall funding total. It is not possible to disaggregate education provision for the remaining privately-managed prisons.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 20/06/2023 15:41:34 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy attachment 1 file name 2023-06-22 PQ HL8362 Table.docx title HL8362_table
