John Baron MP has asked the Speaker of the House of Commons to investigate a statement given by a Minister of State to his question on Tuesday about ClearSprings.
John said:
“On Tuesday I raised the fact that ClearSprings had been tasked by the Government to create open prisons from residential properties it is buying across Basildon District. The Minister replied that Basildon Council had failed to use its veto. The Council has subsequently confirmed that the Minister is incorrect, that it had expressed its ‘universal opposition’ to the company’s plans, and that it had been told the Ministry of Justice would be pressing ahead regardless.”
John will now be pursuing the matter with the Ministry of Justice, and will be keeping the Speaker informed of developments. He also plans to meet the management of ClearSprings to urge them to reverse their plans to create open prisons across Basildon District.
