HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 cc852-3W
Ms Roseanna Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the hours of time off in lieu owed to prison officers for each month of 1997, indicating what percentage of those hours are owed for more than(a) one month, (b) three months and (c) six months; and if he will make a statement. [29940]

Mr. McLeish

Information on the hours of time off in lieu (TOIL) owed only to prison officers is not available since the data held by the Scottish Prison Service cover both prison officer and supervisor groups. The table sets out the TOIL owed jointly to these staff groups during 1997, but information on the periods of time for which TOIL hours are owed to members of staff is not held centrally.
