§ Mr. David Howellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of overtime is spent by prison officers on escort duties at court; and what the cost in overtime payments was during the latest convenient 12-month period.
§ Dr. Summerskill:I regret that information on the proportion of prison officers' overtime related to escort and court duties as such is not available centrally, and could be collected only at disproportionate cost.
