Justice Secretary Ken Clarke has said that union bosses need to learn from his decision to tender the running of Birmingham prison to a private contractor.

The decision to award security firm G4S the contract to run the 1,400-inmate jail came after firms competed over the running of four prisons in England.

The prison is set to become the first jail in the UK to be privatised.
