questionText: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much compensation was paid to prisoners in (a) 2022 and (b) 2023 for items which had been ordered by prisoners but were lost in transit.
answerText: As the requested information is not collected centrally, it could only be obtained by reviewing the complaints and purchasing logs at every prison, for each day of the requested period. This could not be done without incurring disproportionate cost.
