HC Deb 13 May 1980 vol 984 c420W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the last review of staffing took place in the prison service; and when the next review is due.

Mr. Whitelaw

The overall staffing requirements for the prison service are reviewed annually in the context of the public expenditure survey. Reviews of the number and gradings of particular grades at individual establishments are carried out as the need arises.
