§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list by year for the last 10 years and for the current year to date(a) the number of prison officers found guilty of offences at their place of work, (b) the prison and (c) the offence.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerThe tables give details of prison officers found guilty of offences in criminal proceedings and of officers found guilty of disciplinary offences as a result of internal disciplinary proceedings. Table A contains a full breakdown for the past 10 years by establishment and by offence. Table B contains only those offences which were dealt with centrally, either by virtue of their intrinsic seriousness or because the officer appealed against the governor's findings. The majority of disciplinary offences are dealt with locally and no central record is kept. In view of the wide range of disciplinary offences, it is not practicable to provide a breakdown by individual offence.
