What's happening to Reading Prison?

Justice Minister Sam Gyimah has some answers on the future of Reading Prison.

Sam Gyimah:

"What I want to see in terms of any activity in Reading Prison is that we get the best value for the tax payer. We'll be giving more detail on the plans for Reading Prison in due course."

"I am not for a second saying we have to have another think about it. What I'm saying is that we've got a programme across the entire country."

On whether Reading Prison could be used as a Prison again...

"That is not the thinking at the moment."
