Summary
Mr C complained about delay in progressing through his prison sentence. He had been told that he would be put forward for progression by a particular time but this had not happened. We considered whether there had been an unreasonable delay in him being put forward for progression. We did not uphold his complaint because, while there had been a delay, it was not unreasonable. The initial delay had been caused by further information being requested and a further delay had been caused by an operational decision to stop admissions to the prison he was to progress to because redevelopment work was ongoing. Mr C had been offered the opportunity to be put forward to progress to another prison but had refused.
