HC Deb 28 February 2000 vol 345 c107W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many women prison officers were working in segregation units of prison in England and Wales on 1 February. [111934]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The total number of women prison officer grades working in public sector prisons in England and Wales on 1 February was 3,543.

It is not possible to provide data for those working solely in segregation units as staff may be deployed to any part of the prison at any time and records are not available centrally for specific units or wings.
