Shadow justice secretary, Sadiq Khan, has called on the justice secretary to impose a six month deadline on G4S to improve services at Oakwood prison or be removed from managing the prison service.

The imposition of a deadline should be used, said Mr Khan to make G4S "shape up or ship out", following recent disturbances at Oakwood prison.

The shadow justice secretary said that the prison had clear underlying issues which had been covered up and that G4S should not be used as a model by the justice secretary for the rest of prison service.

"Labour wouldn't tolerate the current situation at Oakwood. G4S would get six months to shape up or ship out. The government should demand much, much more of G4S," Mr Kahn said.
