HC Deb 13 March 1992 vol 205 cc732-5W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many additional hours have been worked by prison officers, in each appropriate prison establishment, above those for which they have been contracted, and for which they are currently owed time off in lieu.

Mrs. Rumbold

The latest readily available figures, for 5 January, show an average balance of 4.84 hours owed per officer. This is 34 per cent. less than the level at 1 September 1991. The situation varies in each establishment in line with a range of factors.

The overall number of net additional hours per establishment and the average balance of hours owed per officer at each establishment is as follows.
